Hi all,
Our female cat who we are now almost positive is pregnant (27 days post date of suspected mating) has developed a couple of strange lumps on her underbelly. When I first noticed them, I thought it was maybe matted fur, but she wouldn't let me brush or touch her underbelly anyway to work it out, so I let it be... but I have noticed in the last couple of days they have increased in size and are definitely not matted fur but some sort of mass under the skin.
My first thought was maybe something hormonal with the mammary glands, but there's even one inside of her primordial pouch.
Reading online, I see so many things it could be but I keep noticing people mention "if your cat is not pregnant, it could be xyz," but nothing clarifying what it would be if she is pregnant?
Is this something to be very worried about/rush to vet over, or is there a less alarming possibility related to pregnancy?
