My cat has a tummy lump. What's the cost for removal and treatment?

It could be that Beans has an umbilical hernia and that's why the lump goes back in when you push on it. Umbilical hernias typically need to be repaired surgically, which can be done when Beans is neutered. As for his mum Jaffacake, this lump could unfortunately be a mammary tumor which can happen in intact females. In cats, there's a 90% chance a mammary tumor is malignant, so it's important to have any lump examined promptly by a vet.

Unfortunately you should take Baby to the veterinarian. Without actually performing a physical examination it is difficult to say what is causing the lump and if I can't say the cause we can't say how to treat it. You can call your local veterinarians and see what they charge for an office visit. With how young Baby is she needs other things which can add up in the cost of the visit.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Monkey. First off, love her name! Fatty lumps can grow to be quite big over time, but it is worth getting checked out. Any suspicious lumps should be examined by the vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of its cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. Once the cause of the lump is diagnosed, the vet can discuss treatment options if needed. Give her vet a call to make her an appointment. I hope this helps!

I'm sorry to hear that Al has a skin lump that you found. Cats can develop growths that are benign (cysts, fatty deposits) or some that are concerning (skin cancers, abscesses). I would recommend he be evaluated by his regular veterinarian to determine what kind of mass it is, and whether or not it is potentially a problem for him. Good luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be a benign or malignant growth. This is likely from her mammary gland. There is no way of knowing for sure without an examination though this represents a reason to seek veterinary care. This is usually determined with an examination and a fine needle aspirate (FNA) or a biopsy. Treatment depends on the findings up to that point. I recommend you have Dahlia evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good night!

The vet can give her a full exam and then can take samples if the lump with a needle. These will be spread on slides and sent to the lab for analysis. They could also take some blood to check organ function.

Unfortunately what you are describing I am concerned it may be cancerous. Without actually seeing her it is difficult to say. You can always try a veterinarian that is low cost but the concern is the end result is going to cost more then $30. If the vet suspects cancer Izzy would need blood work, radiographs (looking for metastasis) and surgery to remove the growths. I am so sorry that Izzy is going through this.
