So poor little one has a big lump on the back of her thigh. She's an overweight kitty and I found it as she had stopped going up her tree after her last vet visit. I thought it might be her not feeling well from the anti-biotics from the bad UTI she had but decided to massage her legs gently and WOW BIG lump deep in their.
I made a vet appointment and she went today. They were going to biopsy it today and then the vet felt what she thinks might be synovial (spelling) fluid on what would best be described as the elbow joint. The joint between her leg and thigh. A change in plan was made and she will have to be sedated tomorrow, there are x-rays scheduled, three biopsies, blood and urine.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Sedation on a fat cat I know is risky and I am so thankful to have such an amazing vet and team at her office.
I have to say - I'm scared. Scared of her going under and scared it's something really bad. She's only 10.
PS she said it was too hard and something else (I blanked) to be cyst or a fluid filled cyst. It could me a lymph reacting but unlikely due to the location.
