Today I found a growth on my cat's tongue.

It's toward the back of her tongue and I saw it when she yawned. She didn't let me examine it for long, but it seems discolored, and maybe the size of a quarter? Probably a bit bigger. Anyone have this happen to their cat? I'll be taking her into the vet as soon as possible, but he doesn't open until Mon. morning.

Let us know--hopefully just a wart. And I'm pretty sure you don't mean quarter, unless it's taking up her whole tongue. If it is that big, a vet visit is definitely in order.

OK, so I'm spatially inept- but it IS large- it takes the back half of her tongue. And she has a big tongue. It actually looks somewhat like a tongue is growing on her tongue. It's orangish-red.

I'm calling the vet first thing in the morning, so we'll see.

Sorry-- well, the vet found some ulcers on her upper lip-I totally missed them.

: He's not sure, but the growth on the tongue may be the same thing--it's ulcers created by an allergic reaction. He gave a cortisone shot and anitbotic. We'll watch t see if it shrinks, if not, he'll take it off. Thanks for the concern! I'll let you know if it shrank or not.
