My cat has a cyst on his left shoulder, or at least i think that's what it is. Does that mean he will die?

Question

He's an outside cat that found us. His name is Dan. Now, i wouldn't be worried about his safety if we could afford to take him to the vet, but we can't afford it

Answer 1

No one on this site can tell you what is wrong with your cat or if he will die. Even a vet can't tell unless they see it. So if you are not willing to take it to the vet then there is really nothing we can say.

Answer 2

We thought we had found a cyst on one of my cats too and it turned out to be an air rifle pellet, but because of where the pellet was the vet said it wasnt doing any harm or bothering my cat so they left it in!!  Take him to the vets and explain that you cant afford to settle the bill at once, theyll come to some payment arrangement with you, he really needs to be looked at as soon as possible!!

Answer 3

Well you arent a vet so you don't know if it is a cyst. If there is any way you can take him to the vet thats really the best. I dont think he would die but he needs medical attention- or take him to a humane society to have someone look at him.
