Bacardi, my 5 year old Siamese mix has always been overweight. I have had her in for a full blood work- the vet told me the results were the best that he has ever seen in a cat, and he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary wrong with her. She eats, and elimates without a problem, so there was no blockage or anything and he manipulated her all over and could find nothing, this was several months ago......
Ok, fast forward to this week and now if I pet her she meows (not in pain, but her skin literally jumps when I pet her) If I pass my hand to the middle of her back she will either lick me rapidly or nibble me and draw blood. I feel no heat, but am alarmed because her stomach is solid tight, but when I squeeze or apply pressure she doesn't growl, though she turns her head quickly like she is going to bite me but doesn't? I am worried about her, and want to take her in for x-rays or an ultra-sound but will be unable to do so for at least 3 weeks. Is there anything anyone can suggest in the meantime as to what might be wrong with her? The vet has ruled out diabetes and gland problems, but I am thinking a mass or something is sitting in there and getting bigger.
