Swollen mammory glands on ex-breeding queen??

Hiya

I have an ex-breeding queen, ive noticed in the last week that one side is hanging down. Looks like her mammory glands are swollen but only on one side? Its not swollen, red or hard. I can touch all round the area theres no pain. She has been sleeping more but still plays with Alfie in the morning and evening. Taking her to the vets in the morning but wondered if anyone knew what has caused this? Shes always had abit of mummy tum so havent noticed its just one side before.

Is she neutered Crofty ? If not it sounds like Mammary hyperdyplasia. My queen that has the kittens at the minute had it when she was about a year old, it was awful. Hers was really bad though, both sides so badly swollen. The vet said he's never seen anything so bad in a cat. I was set to get her speyed, but the vet gave her an injection of Alizan(not sure of spelling) it worked.

Hmmm, not sure on that one then. It's not just extra fat from being neutered ? That happens quite often

Vet said she's fine just abit lopsided haha i had her microchipped and she had a injection because her skin is a little sore on that lopsided side where shes licked it so she only has a slight skin complaint. Cost me £58 for it all!! She's worth it though
