Ambiguous-Kat asked:
my brothers cat found a bump in his skin and brought him to the vet. the vet said it was fat buildup and they would call him back when the blood tests were done. well they called and said our cat might have kidney disease. the cat is 8 years old going on 9 and has had an experience with fleas last year. what could have caused this? i have another cat who lives with this cat, the other cat is only 4 but should i get him checked out too?
