Hello, our cat gotten into a fight with another cat and now she has a lump on her right side above her hip. What is wrong with her, plus she doesnt liked to be touched or picked up. Could she be pregnant?

Answer by Kate
Hi
well if she has been in a fight it is likely that the lump has been caused by either a bite or scratch and is more than likely infected now. this has to be treated by a vet with antibiotics if this is the case.

The fact that she does not like to be picked up could well be that she is in pain and this is another reason why she needs to see a vet sooner rather than later.

i hope she is better soon

bet wishes Kate
