FAQ’s
We Are Often Asked:
What Cancers Commonly Affect Felines?
Cats are prone to many types of cancer such as: lymphoma, oral and mammary. Mammary cancer is less of a threat if your feline is spayed and lymphoma is less likely if your feline has been vaccinated for Feline Leukemia Virus. Mouth cancer involves sores stemming from the lining of the oral cavity that do not heal.
What Are the Warning Signs?
Cats show signs of sickness in many ways. External lumps and bumps, open sores that will not heal, vomiting and diarrhea, difficulty breathing, rapid weight loss or gain and a rough, thinning coat can all be signs of feline cancer or another illness. Take your feline to the vet if you ever notice any of these warning signs.
What Happens If My Cat Has Mammary Cancer?
Check your feline monthly for lumps or bumps along the nipple lines. If you ever feel anything unusual, get your feline examined right away. If your feline has tumors that are confirmed malignant, both “chains” will most likely need to be removed in a two-part surgery followed by chemotherapy.
