My 6 year old Daisy (tuxedo DSH) has just been diagnosed with Vaccine-Induced Sarcoma. She has a large lump (tumor) growing between her shoulder blades. Much research is being done, but the general medical opinion is that cats vaccinated in that area can be prone to tumors.
There are many online sources of information about this form of cancer. Every cat owner should be aware of the recommended vaccination sites on their cat. Don't avoid those annual shots, but be sure that the shots are given in the locations recommended to avoid this possible tumor growth.
The future for Daisy is dim, even with surgery or other treatment. But,you can help your beloved cats by learning about this important cat health issue!
