Quick diagnosis is essential to treatment, so here are a few of the signs that your cat may have a throat tumor:
- Changes in the "voice" of your cat. Your cat's meow or other noises that it makes make may change pitch.
- Your cat may lose its purr.
- Its breathing will become heavier and louder.
- Your cat will no longer be able to exercise for long periods of time. It will tire very easily.
- Your cat may begin to breath with its mouth open.
- If the cancer has already developed, your cat could suddenly collapse. In this case, it will need to be rushed to the vet straight away.
- Your cat will have difficulty eating its food, and may not even be able to swallow.
