Cat with lump on head given meds and two weeks to live three months later

Hello there,



I'm so sorry to hear about your cat's situation—it's understandably concerning when a treatment plan doesn't seem to align with current observations. While I can't diagnose your cat without an exam, I can offer some insights and options to consider.



First, it's possible the lump could have been diagnosed as something potentially serious, like a tumor, which can be unpredictable in its progression. That said, since your little one is still with you three months later, it's a hopeful sign.



Lumps can have different causes, including infections, abscesses, or benign growths, each with varied treatments. Since your cat's condition may be more complex than initially thought, continued monitoring is important. Look out for changes like rapid growth of the lump, changes in behavior (like eating less or being less playful), or any new symptoms like difficulty breathing or swelling elsewhere.



For home care, ensure your cat is comfortable and eating well. Keep the area around the lump clean and avoid applying any topical treatments unless instructed by a vet.



Given the situation's complexity, I suggest scheduling a video consult through Dial A Vet. Our team can guide you with more tailored advice after viewing the lump and discussing your cat's history in more detail. Let's make sure your feline friend gets the care they need.
