Follicular cysts in cats are a common condition, particularly in older female cats. They are also known as ovarian cysts or follicular ovarian cysts. In cats, follicular cysts are typically: - Fluid-filled sacs that develop in the ovaries - Benign (non-cancerous) - Associated with hormonal imbalances, especially in spayed females Symptoms may include: - Enlarged abdomen - Vaginal discharge - Abnormal heat cycles or behavior - Lethargy - Weight loss If you suspect your cat has a follicular cyst, it's crucial to consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and care. They may recommend: - Ultrasound or radiographic imaging - Hormonal therapy - Surgical removal of the cyst or ovaries (ovariohysterectomy) Early detection and treatment can help manage the condition and prevent potential complications, such as ovarian torsion or rupture.
