kitten with a lump on his jawHi I hope someone can help me, my 4 month old kitten - Oliver has a small lump on his bottom jaw, it doesn't see to worry him too much and there is only a small pink patch to the side of it , no blood or other oosing ! Is it an infected bite or could it be something else, he play fights with his brother all the time and has just started to explore the garden ! thanks

Is this on the outside of his jaw, or in the mouth itself? How long has it been there? Is he pawing or rubbing it? Does he seem well otherwise: eating, drinking, toileting normally? |

Oliver has had the small lump for about 3 days ( I noticed it on Monday) - it is about the size of a chick pea and hasa small red area on the side. he is well in himself and eating and drinking normaly - perhaps a little quiet. I think it is a play fight bite from Max. I will phone the vet tomorrow, to make sure |

Sounds like his brother has caught him with his claw while playing. Bathe it with warm water and bicarbonate of soda, this is a great healer. Hope it improves. |

Thanks for the advise, the Vet thinks it is a reaction to a fleabite, so we have de flead again ( I check him regularly and this must have been a stray flea  )He is having the snip after Christmas ( with Max) so will get the medical staff to check again then. My daughter keeps saying how wonderful our "Free" cats are - perhaps I should get her to pay the vet bill next time  Happy Christmas |
