Help! What is this?

[Charlie-pud]

Does anyone know what this could be? I'm wondering if it is a tick or something else. It's near his by the joint of his right arm. He doesn't go out and recently had his flea treatment and wormer.

Hi! It could be something benign but can you send that photo to your vet?

So you don't think it could be a tick?
I've been told to call the vets first thing in the morning. Because it's not an emergency

It looks like a tick we found on some kittens, born in a rabbit hutch. The kittens were covered in white ticks. But it's difficult to tell ftrom a photo. The vet will know.

I'm not sure where he could get a tick from. Hes an indoor cat and no one has come into our home in the last few days.

I've never heard of a tick appearing on indoor-only cats - so I'll have to rethink! I don't believe it can be anything serious - please, let us know what the vet says.

It's a nipple.

It could be a nipple as what carebearbaby1 mentioned.

Cats have 6 to 8 nipples, 3 or 4 pairs on the belly including male cats. You may want too run your fingers under the belly and see if all looks alike. If they do, definitely they are nipples.

It's a nipple.

It's on the top of his right arm. It's not in his under belly or near there. Which is why I'm confused.

 

[Charlie-pud]

I have contacted the vets and waiting for a callback once they've seen the photos I sent.

Not a tick. Maybe a skin tag or something like that. Let us know what the vet says!

 

[carebearbaby1]

They can be really high up, not just on the belly.

 

[Charlie-pud]

He has a vet appointment on Wednesday. So I'll hopefully know more then

 

[carebearbaby1]

What did the vet say?

 

[Charlie-pud]

Vet has confirmed it's not a tick. It's more than likely a cyst but as it's still quite small they can't get a sample and removing it would be him going to sleep which is not something they want to do with his heart issues.
Just got to keep an eye on it, if it gets bigger than will run tests or if it gets very painful (which they said it isn't right now) they will consider removing it.

Thank you for all your help
