Dog with lump on ribcage
Right below her rib cage in the center I noticed a hard bump. Kind of round. You can't feel it unless you are pressing on it. I don't know if it's part of her anatomy or something to be concerned about? It may have always been there and now I am just noticing, but I just wanted to make sure this is normal (i.e. ribs, organ, muscle, etc). Hopefully I am just being overly concerned. Thanks for your help! |

Cat recovering from hepatic lipidosis-fatty liver disease
My Silver Tabby (8yo female neutered) is now recovering nicely, from Hepatic Lipidosis, and is eating and drinking on her own.She now weighs 8 pounds, and is active and playful.I can feel her ribs, but they have a covering of fat, so I'm wondering, is this a good weight for her? She eats about a quarter of a cup of Feline Iams Adult Maintenance a day, and that has recently increased a bit.Is that enough? Most of the time when I'm at work, she sleeps, and is active in the evening.Thanks!
