Lump on the ear

Hi everyone,

I'm posting because I'm feeling a bit stressed after finding a small lump on my cat's ear; she hasn't got any others. I don't know if it's a bite or something else, and I'm quite worried! I'm sending the photo to my vet tomorrow morning, but in the meantime, I'd love to get your thoughts.

Have a lovely evening.

Hi, my cat has the same thing on its ear. Could you tell me what it turned out to be for yours? Have a good evening.

Hi there,

There could be many different causes for this lesion (inflammation, a sting or bite, a tumour, a skin condition, etc.). The best thing to do for now is to keep a close eye on the lesion and your cat:

- Your cat’s reaction (scratching, the colour of the skin...)

- Whether the size of the lesion changes from day to day

- Any other lesions appearing elsewhere on your cat's body

- Your cat's general well-being (changes in behaviour, lethargy...)

- Check if there are any other similar lumps on your cat's body

- The appearance of the lesion (is it weeping, soft or firm?)

Don’t hesitate to give your vet a ring to give them this information and decide on the best course of action for your cat.
