What are these lady lumps?

[PurrsMaw]

Our 3.5 year old Purr has developed large lumps on her backside. She eats, drinks, grooms herself, is active. Should I be concerned?

I am very sorry. They look like large mammary tumours - but you can see what a vet says …. if not removed, they will grow so large that she will need to be humanely put to sleep by a vet that knows how to do it properly - most do not

(gas/oxygen mix used for surgery, when unconscious to at least a surgical level - vet will test eye reflex and gently pinch toes - then she will be injected and kept unconscious with the gas/oxygen mix until dead. You will need to make sure it is done properly and stay with her if possible)

Thank You. That was my fear. I don’t want to see her suffer any. So sad

She looks wonderful for her very advanced age. It could be some time before they start to bother her too much.

Hopefully they are slow growing and she will have lots of good quality time left with you
