Mammary Tumors

Quality Supplements for Mammary Tumors in Cats

The third most common kind of tumors found in cats are mammary tumors (sometimes referred to as breast tumors by pet parents). Unfortunately, 90% of all tumors that are found in cats are malignant (cancerous).

Causes of Mammary Tumors in Cats

The exact cause of mammary tumors in cats is unknown, but it is believed that hormones play an integral part in their development.

Risk Factors for Mammary Tumors in Cats

• Older cats (11 years and older) that are not spayed are at the highest risk.
• Certain breeds of female cats are also at a greater risk including
  • Siamese
  • Domestic Shorthairs

Check online at NHV to find out if your breed of cat is more at risk.

Diagnosing Mammary Tumors in Cats

Your vet will need to perform a physical exam, X-rays, and a biopsy. A chest X-ray may also be necessary to find out if the tumor has spread to the lungs.

Symptoms

• Coughing and breathing difficulties
• Diminished appetite
• Uninterested in exercise
• Loss of hair
