My cat had tumor surgery. Why are symptoms returning? Is it normal?

Question

Hello, I have a two year old cat who has had surgery for removing a tumour last year. Currently, he is getting all the signs and symptoms of this again, and I was wondering if it is normal for a tumour to return? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 10 lbs

Yes. If the margins were "dirty", then there is the likelihood of tumor regrowth. Another surgery with wider margins may be indicated. If the tumor is malignant, a consult with an veterinary oncologist for follow up treatment is strongly recommended.
