i thought at first it may have been an insect especially being summer, i cleaned it with salt water, and kept an eye on it for a few days thinking it may clear up, and when it didn’t i brought her to the vet to have it checked out,

the vet thought it was a tumor, she was booked in the next day to have it removed, everything seemed fine for a few weeks, then the limp came back, so back to the vet again, an x ray showed she had another large tumor/cancer high on the same hind leg, i made the decision for her to have the operation to remove the leg, and i was so glad i did, and i am sure she was pleased to,especially as she wasn’t in any pain any more, she wasn’t happy about it for about a week though,as she realized her leg was gone,but she adapted really quickly,

He has a lump on his right hind leg my Vet said it was a tumor. My vet said that the only way that he can take care of the tumor is to take his right leg off. My wife and I don't know what to do about having his leg cut off. My name is Charles I have a Cat that is about 15 years old. He has a lump on his right hind leg my Vet said it was a tumor.
