I noticed yesterday ( or maybe two days ago) that my male 2 year old cat has a lump under his chin. I rub his chin all the time so I am fairly certain that it is new as of the day I noticed it. It is the size of an pencil eraser, the ones that come attached to the pencils. Today, I looked closer at it and it seems to have a slight redness to it and it looks like he may have scratched it with his claws- there are two parallel lines that bled slightly in a few spots. The fur is normal. I think the lump might be slightly smaller than it was yesterday.
... so I am thinking it may just be a scratch that got irritated/infected? I don't know what else it could be.
My question is this- When do I call the vet? I am traveling for work the second half of this week... the cat sitter can take him if need be, but I would rather do it myself tomorrow if he definitely needs to be seen, rather than wait and let the sitter do it.
