My cat's nose is growing? (pics)
We have a pixie-bob female, about 5 1/2 years old, spayed in apparently excellent health. She goes to the vet once a year for checkups, shots and all. Her behavior is excellent, and has not changed. She is very playful, eats well, sleeps well, and has no parasites (fleas, worms, etc.) She is the picture of contentment, which is why I haven't taken her to the vet for this one simple thing.
That said, we have noticed that her nose shape has changed in a pronounced way over the last year or so. It has become more bulbous on the end and looks like a "Jimmy Durante" nose from the side profile view. (Attached photo here) This has me kind of concerned... wondering if she might have a tumor or disease that would be causing this.
I've googled the heck out of this and can't find anything except one article on something called a "roman nose" and they alluded to cancer!:eek:
Does anyone have any idea what might be the cause of this?:confused:
Thanks in advance,
Cake Lady
