Thread: What could this lump be?

Hi all I found a lump just today on my baby Maine Coon's back just beneath her neck, she's only 9 months old.

Think I would get it checked out,is it at the point where she could have had her vaccinations ??? Does seem a bit strange though because by the photo it looks as if something has sliced it open,I would say a trip to the vets for a quick look is on the cards,let us know how you get on....x

Thanks for the reply, its like a circle of white semi -healed/fused skin with a red centre and then on top is a scab which is slightly detached (which you can see on the photo) with fur growing through the scab. She isn't in any discomfort with it but I'm not sure if it could be ringworm?

I am going to take her to the vets tomorrow - just concerned as we are due to go on holiday on Friday

I am sure it will not interfere with holiday,the pain would be if it is ringworm then you will be treating all of the cats,brilliant hobby.
Could just be something like a sebacous cyst,will look forward to your posting tomorrow night..x

Good luck at the vets tomorrow, let us know how you get on - we're a funny old bunch on here, and will worry about each others cats!!

thanks guys, I'll let you know how I get on. Hoping to get an appointment for 7pm so me and my wife can both go with poor old Ruby
