Thanks for reaching out; I understand how concerning it can be to discover a mass on your cat's stomach, especially when your vet's office is closed. Let's try to break this down together.
A mass in your cat's abdomen could be due to various reasons, some as simple as a harmless lipoma, which is a fatty growth, or it could be an abscess, cyst, or even a more serious tumor. Sometimes, these masses might be due to an organ enlargement, which is why getting a professional opinion is important.
At home, keep an eye on your cat's behavior for any changes such as decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. Gently palpate the area around the mass and see if your cat shows signs of pain, such as hissing or trying to escape. Try to note the size, shape, and feel of the mass; this information can be helpful for your vet.
It's crucial to watch for indicators of a more serious issue, such as rapid breathing, increased vocalization indicating pain, or if your cat stops using the litter box. These symptoms warrant immediate veterinary attention.
In light of this, I encourage you to book a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can further discuss what's going on and decide on the next steps for your feline friend. Take care!

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
