I found a lump on my pet

In addition to the thorough clinical examinations we give your pet yearly, you can also help your pet by keeping a watchful eye out for any lumps and bumps.

If your pet develops a lump, there are several possible causes. These include allergic reactions, abscesses (common in cats), hernias, and tumours. The most serious of these are of course tumours and these can be further divided into benign tumours (which tend to be slow growing and only locally invasive), or malignant tumours (which tend to be fast growing and spread to distant parts of the body.

What to do if you find a lump

If you find a lump on your pet, it is therefore very important that we examine it as soon as possible in order that we may establish the underlying cause and start and required treatment without delay. If you are concerned about a lump on your pet, or any other health problem, please contact us today for an appointment.
