Cat has a bleeding neck growth and stopped eating. What should I do?

Question

My cat has a growth on her neck. It’s shaped in a ball and is a little smaller than a ping pong ball. It has been growing for over a year now. It doesn’t appear to cause her pain. It appears to be filled with blood and not pus. Two days ago it began bleeding and is slightly smaller and shriveled but still full. She is not eating treats tonight which is very unusual so I assume she isn’t eating food or water either. She is an outdoor cat with a heated garage space so I haven’t been able to monito. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 13 years and 6 months old | 17 lbs

Hi and thanks for your request. This lump should be checked asap by your local veterinarian as it could be tumor (fibrosarcoma). Your vet will perform some analysis to understand its nature and suggest best course of action in terms of treatment.
