Hello! It's completely understandable to be concerned when you notice something unusual like a bump on your cat's lip, especially if it's bleeding a bit.
There are a few common reasons your cat might have this bump. It could be a small injury from playing or exploring – cats are adventurous, after all! It might also be a reaction to an insect bite or sting, like a bee or spider. Sometimes, cats can develop a condition called "rodent ulcer" or eosinophilic granuloma complex, which can cause bumps around the mouth.
For now, you can keep an eye on the bump and ensure it stays clean. You can gently wipe it with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Make sure your cat doesn't scratch or rub it excessively, as this could cause more bleeding or irritation.
Watch for signs such as rapid growth, changes in color, a foul smell, or if your cat seems to be in pain or is having trouble eating. If any of these occur, it could indicate a more serious issue like an infection or even a tumor, which would need a vet's attention.
It's always better to be safe and have a vet take a closer look if you're concerned. Consider booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals so we can assess your furry friend's situation together.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
