[cats] I’m making the bf call the vet tomorrow for Lucy because she has a lump on her chest that’s getting a bit bigger and more solid. And obviously I’m panicking and overthinking 8D

oof yeah best get it checked out

Always best to get lumps checked.

It could just be a cyst, but better safe than sorry.

It probably is. She had one under her armpit that went away and the vet said it happens since she was spayed late but still ;; she’s my baby

rounde

good luck!

Spayed...late.../SQUINT

She was around 9 years old when I got her spayed because her old vet wanted like $800~ to spay

That’s more like “hey my cat was NOT pediatrically spayed, thank you” and that’s a ridiculous amount

yeah this new vet is great, she's not afraid of him at all and her old vet FUUCKING terrified her

spaying was like $350-ish with him? And they let us split it into two payments over the month

and part of that is they keep cats overnight on observation before releasing them to us

they even call us when the cat wakes up from surgery

At night, that's more like a 55 year old getting a hystro tbh, so 'late spay' makes sense. But honestly the price is a part of why I always go to high volume spay/neuter clinics on top of them just being so much more experienced

Mm, I went to a place like that, got my cat spayed for $80, and there wasn't a single issue with the recovery.

exactly! they do thousands a week, they have a metric fuckton of experience and that makes everything so much safer
