Having a cat is a joy in life. They are little babies that can take care of themselves with the little exception of cleaning their bathroom. They are a companion for life and snuggle with you at just the right time. Watching for signs and symptoms of cat tumors associated with cat cancer will help give your feline a running leap in the fight for its life. Here are some key signs to look for cat tumors.
Gait Change-If your cat has turned more stiff or lazy than usual then you might want to take him in to the doctor to check their body out.
Cough-This could be a sign just like humans that something could be affecting the cat's lungs.
Odor-If your cat has a foul odor to its body or breath then there could be something going on in the digestive tract or skin that could be causing the foul smelling odor.
Lumps-Any type of lump could be a major sign for cat tumors. Cat cancer can make bumps anywhere on the body that can start off really small and grow really big.
Bloody Stools-This could be a sign that something is happening in your cats stomach or intestines due to ulcers or polyps associated with cat cancer.
These are just a few of the most important signs to look for from you cat to determine if you need to set a veterinarian right away. The signs are similar for humans and we have a pretty good idea about those for ourselves. Getting thorough workups on you cat will help choose a life or death path. These signs can be caught in time to get the right treatment and still spend plenty of years with you.
If your cat isn't eating right or enough and have weight loss due to the lack of eating or rapid weight loss over a short period of time, then it's time to take them in to the veterinarian. The veterinarian will have choices for you to think about regarding treatment. Some may be as simple as a small surgery to remove a lump. Others might be chemotherapy to make the cat cancer smaller in size to the point it will just go away.
It's a tough situation to go through but as long as you are proactive and know what to look for in the beginning then you and your feline have a fighting chance against these cat tumors. Both of you will benefit so much from early detection. Keep a positive attitude and you, your doctor and your cat will become life long friends in the end. You will hear nothing but purring from now on.
