Hello,
I am looking for some additional advice from another veterinarian regarding my cat.
14 year old female, hx of thyroid issues (managed with medication over the past few years). Right shoulder had a pus-filled cyst with opening approximately 4 years ago. Over the past year, an additional ulcer has formed and is open. The cat licks the wound and has since been given a collar to prevent licking it. The wound has gotten larger over the past few weeks (even with the collar), and the wound is seeping and bleeding. The cat does not appear to be in pain or discomfort, but has recently shown reluctance to put full weight on front legs when jumping down from furniture. Attitude, demeanor, and temperament are unchanged.
My regular vet did pathology testing however results came back inconclusive for cancer however could not rule it out. The vet also said that if the ulcer was removed there is no guarantee it would not come back.
Any additional ideas on what this might be, other than cancer? Thanks in advance.
