My cat has a new lump under her chin. What could this be?

[]

Answer

Discovering a new lump on your cat, especially under the chin, always warrants veterinary attention. While some lumps can be benign, like cysts or fat collections (lipomas), others can be abscesses, lymph node enlargements, or even cancerous growths. The location under the chin often raises concerns about salivary glands or lymph nodes. Your vet will perform a physical exam and likely recommend further diagnostics such as a fine needle aspirate (FNA) to determine the nature of the lump. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
