I took Beavis (on leash) outside a few minutes ago to enjoy the sunshine and get some nibbles of grass and while petting him outside i noticed a knot on his tail-- Its about the size of the middle joint of my pinky finger and nice and round. I squeezed it and it didnt seem to bother him. He didnt bite me-- I plan on taking him to a vet sometime this week probably wednesday depending on how the weather is. He is 18 yrs old and in good condition-- I had a senior panel done on him with t4 back in March this year. His values were those of a healthy kitten for the most part. We saw a cat only vet then that i had a good opinion of then but am thinking about going to another one. Shes pricey (shes in a pricey part of houston though) charges extra 20 something bucks if you drop your pet off and have themlook at your pet at THEIR leisure-- She seems competent but Ive heard some not so good things about her in the recent months.
Oh now im rambling.
Are tumors common in older cats? kinda like warts on older dogs? I googled but didnt find much on tail tumors. Anyone have any experience with tumors on the tail?
Please keep in mind Beavis will be seeing a vet this week -- probably wednesday as thats the day I'm off work.
