My old cat has open, infected stomach lumps. What should I do?

Question

My cat is around 13 years old, and as she aged I noticed a couple small tumors on her stomach, but didn't think too much about them. They have slowly grown bigger and eventually connected, they are around her nipples and just yesterday it opened up to a wound on top of the tumor. I am afraid of infection, what should I do? Thank you! Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 14 years and 3 months old | 11 lbs

Oh no, poor MK! This sounds very serious these lumps have slowly been growing, and I would be very concerned that these lump are malignant tumors. It's also concerning that it has opened up to a wound on top. Given that this is spread and opening up, the best thing to do it have MK seen by a vet. I too am worried about infection and the seriousness of these, so it would be best to have her seen by a vet right away for this. Please take her into the vet first thing in the morning.
