Iris is 15 years old house cat, rescued as a feral kitten. 6 months ago she had her teeth cleaned and labwork done(unremarkable). She has lost weight, poor grooming,loose stools, some bright red blood, gas and tummy rumbling. Always ready to eat and often plays for a bit. She is social with me and the other cats. I am afraid that if I start testing her I will stress her and also have a bad outcome. How can I help her?

My cat had a large expansive, nodular, mass in left abdominal wall extending to midline. At time of examination, he was acting like a normal cat. The day after examination, he went downhill, sleeping in a box,...etc. My question is could the physical exam caused pain in the area, or broken the mass a bit or is this all just a coincidence. How much pressure is put on a mass during the examination. Just trying to deal with the loss, and understand, as it went downhill so fast, and I put my baby to sleep.

Need some advice. My cat is almost 13 and has a tumor in his colon area. We did ultrasound and colonoscopy and we think it has metastasized. I do have the pathology reports from the biopsies. If there's anyway I can send you a copy of the report that might help.

Hi, my 13 yr old female cat has had sudden onset vomiting, lethargy, not eating, bloods normal except for slight rise liver function, ultrasound shows slight thickening small intestinal wall,fna shows occasional spindle cells, fine chromatin, large nucleoli. Should we go further with laparoscopy? Could this be toxicity only? Thanks, want to make best decision for her

My Cat (approx 15 years old) was diagnosed with a mass in his stomach 5 months ago, but I was told it was likely benign and he was put on a some meds to keep him regular, and then I was told after a urine test that he was doing great...2 weeks ago he started to bloat and he was given an xray and there was still the mass but also a large amount of fluid in his midsection...I took him to a second vet who said after an ultra sound that it is most likely cancer and he has been put on pain meds and will likely be put down tomorrow. I am in distress because I fear it's not cancer and I'm scared that I may be killing my cat for a benign mass. He has no other symptoms, he eats, he's regular, he's alert, he just seems uncomfortable because of the large swelling in him midsection...am I doing the right thing? I'm so confused and having trouble getting straight answers...he's geriatric so I don't want to do painful surgery, but I don't want to give up if there could be a solution.

They recently found a tumor in my cat’s intestines. They said that she doesn’t have much longer. There has to be something someone can do. I’m taking her to get a second opinion. Please if anyone can suggest anything I would appreciate it. She was just at the vet 3 weeks ago and they said her organs were fine. Now there’s a mass? Ugh please she’s my baby

Hello my cat Tiny has been eating well but has had severe weight loss. When I feel her stomach I can feel lumps in her intestines, lots of them, like food stuff stuck in her intestines. Also her stomach is always rumbling. They don’t hurt her and she’s in great spirits and doesn’t react when I feel her stomach. We are on a very fixed income and can’t really afford treatment, please help. Thank you

About a week ago Paws was squatting as though he was constipated and crying with pain. After trying to touch his stomach this made it worse. He finally pooped and then the sore belly went away. From then on we added water to his wet food etc and it was fine. Then over a week later we picked him up and put him to bed and he was crying in pain again when touching his belly. I made an emergency appointment to the vets for the following morning. The vet said she felt a lump in his belly which could be a tumour or poop. Gave him an injection for his pain and then explained to us that we need to give him laxative three times a day for the next three days. We are due to take him back to the vets tomorrow and they say if the lump isn’t gone that it’s a tumour and he would need to be put to sleep. We don’t know Paws history as we adopted him around 7 months ago. He is 14. We are so heartbroken and don’t understand how it goes from poop to a tumour and are dreading tomorrow. He isn’t in pain and is eating and drinking fine. Please can anyone advise us on what else we can do?

I took boomer to the vet this morning as she had the symptoms of cat flu. He has lost a fist amount of weight over the past year or 2 and we didnt really think anything of it as he was still his normal self and eating and drinking. Hes an indoor and outdoor cat so monitoring his bowel movements isnt always possible. So anyways the vet weighed him and then looked on the computer and was shocked with the amount of weight he had lost and gave him a physical exam and said she couldn't feel anything and suggested blood test as she believed it was likely his kidneys or thyroid so she took him back and ran the bloods and came back into me and said I need to give him another exam as his blood tests have come back all normal but theres got to be a reason behind the weight loss. And after a while of her feeling around his tummy area she said hmm I think I have found something but it's hard to tell because he has alot of poo in his colon this bit just feels a but bigger than the rest. This examination didnt seem to bother boomer in the slightest he was quite relaxed. We are not sure what to make of this outcome as aside from loosing weight hes his normal self and you wouldnt think anything was wrong with him. I might add that he doesnt particularly like the food he is on, right through out his life he has always gotten bored of food. But we were told this food was best for him as it was designed for cats his age so we havent changed but the vet assured me that the weight he has lost isn't from lack of food intake. I had him at the vet exactly a year ago for the same cat flu issue he was down from 5.5kg to 4.6kg and nothing was said but this time he was 3.7kg
