My cat Arabella was diagnosed with hyperthyroid in September and has responded very well to felimazole and blood pressure treatment.She has regained all her weight and her appetite is normal again.
I noticed she has a lump on her flank which is about 2 to 3 inches across.It is not fixed and is quite movable.I was wondering if it is a lipoma.She is going for her thyroid check up soon so I will mention it there.Do you think it is likely to be a lipoma or something more sinister?

Hi Machair,

Lipomas are less common in cats than in dogs, but if it is freely mobile I think it is unlikely to be malignant. Get the vet to check it when you go back.
