Something wrong with Taz...update #56

[Emeraldgreen]

The bulges are very evident in the pics and I think it's a great idea to email them to the clinic and then call and leave a message on their machine asking the receptionist to check the email and pass it along to the vet. I sent videos of my cat to the vet over the last year and it helped the vet see what he was like at home because he was worse when he was relaxed.

It almost seems like it's air/gas?? Maybe he is having an issue with his lungs or a reaction to a food? It is really interesting that it is on both sides and relatively equal as well. Xrays should show something. Prayers for Taz and hoping this mystery is solved soon. I'm sure glad you got the pics because I'm sure it was frustrating when you saw the lumps and then they disappeared. Now you have proof!

I agree with the others. That does NOT look normal!
I would print out those pics and take them along to show your vet .

Is this the same way it looked last time or is this different? I was thinking last time that it appeared in one spot ... more like a small abscessed area from a wound or something. This being on the abdomen and on both sides worries me. Has he been hiding out more ... like wanting to be off to himself?

I would get him to the vet and get him/her to do a belly tap for fluid.

Except for the fact that you say the lumps are appearing, disappearing and reappearing, they look like fatty tumors to me. If you can get ahold of it and sort of move it around a little, it's probably a fatty tumor. If it's rock hard, probably not. Definitely email these pix to your vet and keep after her until she's able to see and feel the lumps. We'll say a special prayer for Taz and you that all will be well.

The bumps are hard. It almost feels like it's his tummy. And it feels like it's one large bump protruding on both sides of him.
When I took him in, well before I took him in, the bump was larger on his left side. I felt bumps on both sides, but the left was larger. Then POOF it was gone.
The vet said all she felt was fat. Which is fine, but why does it look like this now?
I'm going to call the vet when they open, which is still 30 min from now, and see if I can email them pictures.

Thank you everyone for helping me feel like I'm not losing my mind!
