My 2 year old cat has a tender lump on his left side, by his ribs?

You can see it when he stretches, and it's tender to him (he moves when you come close to it)... it's really freaking me out. We don't have any money to pay for an expensive vet visit, and I need help. Does anyone have any advice, on either what it could be, or where I could go to get it (cheaply) checked out in Cleveland OH? :\

P.S Please don't tell me I'm a bad owner; I'm not... we had money for vet visits when we got him, but times are hard.

    You really need to take him to a vet for a thorough exam. Call your local shelter for a list of discount vets that are subsidized by the local city. Most intro exams can be as low a 20 or 30 bucks. I am sorry your having hard times and wish i better news than just "go to a vet". If you are prescribed any special foods or supplements you can get them for cheep online instead of paying your vet.

    the 1st flow you need to make is to get to the vet at as quickly as. Animals are actually unable to let us know how they sense, or what has handed off to them. there are this type of good style of risky issues exterior which could account for the swelling. Cats are allergic to 1000's of distinctive plant life and flowers. Your little chum would have brushed up against one with that element of her face. you besides would ought to video reveal out for persons maliciously poisoning animals. Cat fights additionally reason this form on harm. sturdy success.
