Bumps all over cat's neck and top of head.

Post by JenandTip »

We have a wonderful old cat. In the past couple of months she has had bumps on her neck, head and shoulders. For about a week they were going away. We went away on a weekend trip and left her alone. When we came back they were all over her again. Please help us figure this out. We can't afford a vet right now. :(

it is impossible to tell what they might be without seeing them...

a vet trip really is the best thing to do...most vets will work out a payment schedule...mine will tkae up to 6 post dated checks...ask what sort of plan yours will work out with you...

No lumps or bumps should ever go undetected by your vet, ever. We can't see and examine your cat, only your vet can.

It could be anything to a serious reaction to a food allergy, flea allergy dermatitis, to inflammatory condition or something more serious, only your vet can determine.

Please, make an appointment with your vet immediately, do not wait on this. Any cat over the age of 7 should have yearly bloodwork done to monitor major organ function.

Where there's a will, there's a way, your kitty is depending on you!

Are the inside of her ears clean or dirty?
