Hello,
It is not possible to provide any kind of helpful advice on a lump or a bump from a photo. This appears to be under the skin but even with that I can’t help direct you as to whether this is an acute swelling from an injury or insect bite, or the beginning of something more concerning like a cancer or infection.

The only way to help is to see your vet and let them examine it in person. From there they may recommend it be monitored or an aspiration or biopsy be done.

Hello.

I’m so sorry to hear about your kitty.

Where do things stand now. Did you find anyone to help? Is he urinating?

I have answered this question many times before. You can use the search to see all the previous answers.

Hello,
Please call your vet. Maybe you can send them a picture to help?
I would worry that the incision might be infected and this would warrant an antibiotic ASAP.

Hello,

Please see your vet asap! This is an open wound and antibiotics and pain medication is needed asap. .
At my clinic the cost of an exam is about $50 and a topical antibiotic wash (we use our surgical prep wash) is about $20. Antibiotics and an analgesic can be prescribed via chewy for about $20 each if you ask for it this way.

You can also ask your vet to show you how to manage this so that it will not happen again.

Please see your vet asap. And open infected wound by the anus is something to be addressed. I understand this is a holiday weekend in the USA If your vet is closed then call an er and ask for help. In many cases IF the pet is acting normally (eating drinking and acting like their normal self) it might be able to wait until after the holiday, but the er also might be your best bet so she doesn’t have to wait days.
You can absolutely ask the er to be mindful of your budget. These cases for me are an exam and medications. These cases should not be costly anywhere. If you feel that they are not following your request to stay affordable come back to pawbly and let us know. And then see your vet on weds.

Hello,
Have you spoken to your vet about splinting or using a half cast to allow the broken bone to heal. I only amputate when I am concerned about cancer.
Also this fracture seems very high in the foot to allow amputation unless you remove the leg? And oh my that sounds very aggressive. Please ask for a referral to an orthopedic specialist or get a second opinion. Also it is imperative (!!!!!!) to cage rest. Strict cage rest with limited mobility. Your pet should only be leashes walk to use the bathroom. No free ranging or unsupervised activities.

Hello!

I will have one of the clinic technicians call you to discuss. We do not post drug dosages online for concern other people will dose without a vets notification.

I am off today. Back on Tuesday. Have a great holiday weekend

I’m so sorry to hear about your cat.

I’m not sure what your cat needs now? Please clarify your question.

Hello,

Im sorry to hear about your kitty, I get this question/request A LOT!

It sounds like he is doing well now.

There are a lot of things you can do to prevent and prepare for any future episodes. You could find an online group to help educate and support you. Or ask to volunteer or work at a cat clinic to help understand how to monitor and care for your cat. Also reach out to your vet for advice.
Call and ask everyone you know about finding local affordable resources.. If you do please let me know.

Things to ask about now, to try to prevent future issues are;
learn how to palpate the bladder at home.
learn how to giv sq fluids at home
ask about starting prednisilone
ask about adding cosequin
ask about a prescription urinary diet
have an emergency plan ready
ask about adding gabapentin (for stress and pain)

if you need a pu surgery call the clinic and i will do all i can to help

here are some of my blogs that might help;

Hello,
My best guess is a skin tag with irritated tissue. But the only way to diagnose anything is with a biopsy. Please ask your vet.

Hello,
I tend to stick with the old faithful king toys. Always pick a size larger than the diameter of the neck. Just so swallowing is not possible.
