If it's new, definitely get it checked out by the vet  :scared:

We took in a stray " Mr Robbie the Stretch " mid january this year, and when He finally
gained the trust from me ( mainly because I was feeding him  :evillaugh: ) I discovered
while petting him that he had a strange protruding lump on his rib cage  :shocked: vet
checked him over and concluded that it was an old injury that has healed, feels weird
petting him as it sticks out a fair bit, feels like the tip of a finger  :-:
but it too doesn't bother him  :)

best to get him checked out anyway ;)

Hopefully its an old injury and if he is still lively and having no breathing probs it doesnt sound like he has punctured a lung.

Someone on Purrs took a cat from someone else like this but was an old injury.

I think you should get it checked out by the vets to be on the safe side and listen to any advise given.

Hope he is OK  :hug: :hug:

My cat has come home with what seems like a broken rib! The skin is not pierced and when touched it doesn't hurt him but it is protruding out of his body!
