Dealing with benign feline tumours and masses in cats

We also handle cases involving benign tumours/masses found in cats as well as our feline oncology services. Occasionally, the benign tumour’s size or location and the risk factors associated with its removal may mean that the patient requires complex surgical intervention or access to specialist facilities. Access to our multi-skilled colleagues enables us to provide this important option to vets and their clients.
