My cat has an armpit lump, is lethargic, and not eating. What's wrong?

Question

My cat is about 4 yrs old. She is a indoor outdoor cat.. It appears that she has a lump on her left armpit area. She isn't as active and I noticed she sleeps a lot. When I pick her up she has a deep meow. She eats a little and I haven't notice he drinking as much. I am very concerned on how she got this lump. With my description can you give me advice and what she has? I'm so scared!!! Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 9 months old | 2 lbs

Miss Tazzi may have a cate bite abscess or another injury or a swollen lymphnode. IShe is likely running a fever as well. I suggest you take her to a per ER for an exam. She will likely need pain medicine, and antibiotics, especially if she has a fever due to an abscess or injury. No need to be scared, but certainly in need of an exam.
