lump cat / Yahoo group : save money on Vet bills / see below

Question
My daughters cat has a lima bean size lump near the right lower rib.  It is under the skin, no bite mark or redness.  She allows you touch it without apparent discomfort. The cat is approx 2 yrs old, eating and urinating reg.  The vet is too expensive to find out its nothing really to worry about.  I looked up online and a website suggested Silica (vege)?  

Any suggestions

Answer
Hello Shelly, Well, I do understand you not having the x-ray money for the vet office.  I hope it is just a swollen lymph node that will return to normal.
Keep an eye on it for any major changes...
See the vet if it gets worse.

BEST of Luck on this.

Unfortunately, most veterinary schools provide inadequate education on basic canine and feline nutrition.
Nutrition may occupy as little as a one week long seminar in their many years of education to become veterinarians.
For answers to nutrition they look to pet food manufacturers, which readily supply them with specialty, preventative diets for all life stages and ailments. Such an example is the Science Diet / Hill's Brand.
