• My cat appears to have something on her neck that feels like a hard BB. I can't exactly say when it came up but can say it's been there at least a week. When I touch her in that area she seems sensitive and not to like it. When I spread her fur in the area I'm not seeing anything apparent (discolored or crusty). Do you feel she needs to be seen and how immediately?

    Hi Nicolette, I do recommend that you take her into see a veterinarian. The new painful spot that you are describing is concerning. While this is not an emergency it is important to have her seen. The spot that you are describing can be caused by a few different things including an injury, infection, or a mass. Your vet can talk to you more about the cause of her symptoms and the treatment she needs after they have examined her.
