13 months ago. So, I started at PetSmart a little over 2 months ago. Grew up in the grooming business (my mom owns her own shop and I grew up helping out) so they snatched me up as soon as my application went in. I'm currently living out of state for college, so I couldn't work for my mother anymore.
Owners may notice a mass in the catâs mouth. Tumors that occur in the back of the mouth or under/on the tongue are rarely seen until signs of drooling, weight loss, halitosis (bad breath), difficulty eating, and bloody discharge from the mouth are noted. Loose teeth can also be a symptom of oral cancer in the cat.
When a tumor is diagnosed as a lipoma (fatty tumor), it is a great relief, because these are not malignant. About 10% of all dog skin tumors are lipomas. Lipomas rarely occur in cats.Veterinarians diagnose lipomas by feel (palpation), needle biopsy, and surgical biopsy or surgical excision.ll these signs help differentiate a fatty tumor from a malignant skin tumor. Fatty tumors usually develop in the skin over the trunk of a dog's body or legs; they rarely develop on the head, feet, tail, scrotum, or in the perineal area under the tail.
