Female cat breast tumor refers to the abnormal proliferation of cells in cat breast tissue, which eventually forms a tumor. Breast tumors are common in cats, especially adult female cats that are not sterilized. Its shape and size can be different, and it is usually hard particles or spherical lumps. Breast tumor can be benign or malignant, but it can't be judged by observing symptoms, so once it is found, it must be checked quickly.

2. Tumor type

The types of female cat breast tumors include adenoma, adenocarcinoma, fibroma and fibrosarcoma. Among them, adenoma and adenocarcinoma both developed from breast tissue. They are usually difficult to reach, but after sterilization, the development of tumors will slow down. On the other hand, fibromas and fibrosarcomas are masses that grow around the nipple and are easy to touch. These tumors can be detected by X-ray or ultrasound.

Step 3 identify symptoms

The symptoms of female cat breast tumor have nothing to do with benign or malignant. Moreover, symptoms are not limited to the breast area, but may also occur in other parts of the body. The common symptom of breast tumors is lumps of different sizes. If the nipple changes, it also means that a breast tumor has been found.

Other symptoms include fatigue, dyspnea, vomiting and nausea caused by excessive exercise. If the cat has any abnormal symptoms, it should seek help from the veterinarian immediately.

4. Treatment and prevention

If a lump is found in the female cat's breast, a veterinary examination should be arranged immediately to determine the characteristics and malignant degree of the lump. Treatment will depend on the type and severity of breast tumors, and it is best to find and treat them as soon as possible. During the treatment, all drugs and operations must be mastered by professional doctors. If the situation is critical, the cat may need to be hospitalized for surgery and chemotherapy.

In order to prevent breast tumors in female cats, it is best for female cats to be sterilized after 6 months old. For example, during sterilization, the ovaries and uterus of infected cats can be removed, thus reducing the incidence of breast tumors. In addition, attention should be paid to regular physical examination of the female cat to monitor any suspicious lumps.
