Spleen nodule found on cat ultrasound

Hello there,



I'm sorry to hear about the concern regarding your cat's spleen nodule. Let’s break down what this could mean. A nodule on the spleen can be a benign condition, such as a hematoma or a cyst, which are non-cancerous growths. However, sometimes nodules could indicate something more serious, like an abscess or even a tumor.



While waiting for further diagnostics, keep an eye on your cat for any unexpected signs, such as lethargy, decreased appetite, or pale gums. These could point to internal bleeding or other serious issues requiring immediate veterinary attention.



At home, ensure your cat is comfortable and stress-free. Offer them their favorite quiet spot to rest and try to maintain a consistent feeding routine. Gentle monitoring of their water intake and food consumption can also provide clues to any changes in their well-being.



If you notice any sudden behavioral or physical changes, please reach out to a veterinarian promptly as it could indicate a more serious underlying issue.



Given the potential seriousness, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians at Dial A Vet. Discussing your cat’s condition further can help in deciding the right next steps, including whether additional tests or treatments are warranted.



Take care and looking forward to helping you further!
