Why is my skinny cat's stomach big with bumps and a bad odor?

That sounds like it could be worrisome. If it is in her stomach, you could be feeling foreign objects or even tumors. Internal organs can also be palpated and it's possible you are palpating something important. You need to have Princess examined to get a better idea of what you are feeling. I hope this helps.

She sounds pretty sick, and I'm concerned about her symptoms, especially that she is losing weight really fast. This is not something that can be treated at home, she needs to see a vet immediately. Please take her into one now.

Hi, and thanks for your question. Although a picture of the lump would help to give you more specific answers, this growth should be ideally examined by your veterinarian to have a definitive diagnosis. Your vet will examine it and possibly perform with an FNA (fine needle aspiration) or a biopsy. Differentials would include skin cyst, infections or benign or malignant type of tumors. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to say what the cause of the rounded abdomen may be without examining Binx first. If she is not spayed and has interacted with a male cat, she may be pregnant. Other options include a parasitic infection, mass or tumor, or abdominal fluid due to Feline Infectious Peritonitis or another cause. A good exam with Binx's veterinarian is needed soon in order to determine the cause of the rounded abdomen. It is good to hear she appears normal otherwise, but I would take her in to see her vet to have her evaluated.

Poor Khali! She is quite beautiful. Without seeing her in person, there is not way I say what this lump is, but given that she is a young cat, cancer would be rare in a cat her age. She could have a benign tumor, a cyst, or you could be feeling her abdominal contents such as her intestines. I would have her seen by a vet. The vet can diagnose what is causing the lump and what treatment, if any, is needed.

Hello, it looks like the cat may be currently nursing. Other causes for enlarged mammary glands include benign mammary hyperplasia. It she is not nursing, then you can expect the mammary glands to decrease in size over the next 3-5 days. If this does not occur, then she should be evaluated by a veterinarian. Hope this helps

Given his symptoms, he should be physically examined by your veterinarian. A fine needle aspirate can be done in the clinic to collect samples for pathology. This may determine if the bump is something that needs to be addressed or simply monitored. Your vet may recommend lab work (CBC, chemistry panel, urinalysis) to diagnose the underlying cause for the vomiting and weight loss. These symptoms have multiple causes. Abdominal x-rays may also be recommended. Supportive care (IV or subcutaneous fluids, antibiotics, anti-emetics, etc.) can be administered as indicated.
