What should I do if my female cat has a lump in her breast?
How to deal with hard lumps in female cats’ breasts:
1. When a hard lump appears in a cat’s breast, if it is during the lactation period and the kitten is already one month old, it should be treated as soon as possible. Wean the kitten.
2. If a lump in the breast occurs in a cat that is not yet lactating, you can try applying hot water to the cat and observe whether the lump can dissipate. However, if the hard lump does not dissipate after applying hot water and hot compress, you need to take it to the pet hospital to check whether it is caused by breast tumors, and timely surgery is required.
Methods to relieve breast enlargement in female cats:
1. Gently massaging the female cat’s breasts can help reduce the lumps.
2. Apply hot compress twice a day, each time for about 10-20 minutes, which can help to reduce the hardness.
3. You can use a pet breast pump to suck out the excess milk from the female cat’s breasts and clear her mammary glands. If the breast lump is caused by breast inflammation, the owner needs to feed the female cat some anti-inflammatory drugs.
4. If the cat’s milk engorgement lasts for more than a week or does not subside for a long time, you need to take the cat to the hospital for treatment in time.
