Hello, My domestic shorthaired cat was diagnosed with mammary cancer a year ago. They told us she would probably only live another year unless we got the entire mammectomy done, but my father refused to pay the amount toward the surgery. She now has open sores on her abdominals, which are oozing. And I want to keep them clean and wrap her up but I’m not sure how. She is full of life, walks around just fine, eats and drinks like normal. My sister thinks we should put her down but I can’t seem to decide which is the better decision considering she acts like a happy, normal cat. I’m sure she’s in some pain from the cancer and sores, but It’s such a tough decision. Do you think we should keep the area clean for now and wait until she gets worse, or would it be best/more moral to put her down considering the circumstances?

My cat is turning 13 years old this summer, and I recently noticed a few small lumps around her mammary glands. At first, they were extremely small. I took my cat to the vet and she told me that a biopsy is usually inconclusive but, if they're cancerous lumps, surgery may not be recommended at her age because the cancer could spread regardless. I was told to keep an eye out for changes in lump size and changes in behavior. The lumps have grown. And there MAY be nipple discharge. But so far no noticeable changes in behavior. What would you advise I do? Would a biopsy be a good idea after all? Would it tell me anything other than whether or not it's cancerous? And would surgery to have the lumps removed be a good idea if it is? I'm not sure how long her life expectancy is and if surgery would do enough to keep her healthy.

My cat is 13 years old female sterilized and found a lump on breast in November/December 2017, the vet I saw then said it's not hurting her and if she's eating fine then just to keep an eye on it and nothing about spread or an x-ray. Fast forward towards end May, I wanted to have her lumps removed at another vet clinic and they said it has already spread to the lungs and about a 1cm spread and just to be sure it's not an inflammed lymph node. The report came back that it's a heterogeneous 2.65mm x 2.55mm so I was already prepared and was told she's got 3-6 months left since it's already spread. S Thinking and focusing on alternative methods, I decided to consult with a close to holistic vet and she couldn't get any documents and upon checking my cat's lung and stuff, decided she wanted to do her own x-ray and then consulted with told me she asked 3 of her colleagues opinion and they all agree there is no spread and she's not as sick and able to do surgery. Previously, her surgery was cancelled since it spread to her lungs and she wouldn't do well under anaesthesia and if she does, she might be really sick or worse after. My question is, which is right? What is going on? One doctor saw it on x-ray and another says it's not there and even though she read the chest ultrasound, she said it's not accurate and inconclusive. Holistic vet also said, can't give her a 3mths-6mths to life since she is not seeing what they did. Furthermore, the vet who first did the x-ray and canceled the surgery, said that lung symptoms don't show till the lung is 50% compromised and while the holistic vet said she heard no wheezing and shows no signs of lung symptoms nor do her xray show a cloudy parts which is what is normally seen in a spread to the lungs from the breast. A metastasis. Then what was the ultrasound showing at 2cm ++ x 2cm ++... Very confused

my breeding Bengal has been 3 strong heats. she is not yet 8 months old. She has been beside but I am certain not with a male. After 4 days strong calling, I used the q tip method to take her out of heat. since then she has had small lumpy circular firmness around her teats. I have massaged it and pinched it,This is not tender. Do you think she may be having a hormone thing, making some milk or is it something worse? should I havve a hormone level test done? can any vet do this?
