Feline dental question

In most cases they do not try to use this type of tactic to make more money but not all veterinarian's are the same. I do agree it does make sense to wait and see if the antibiotics worked but in the chance that this could be cancer they would need to do a biopsy to determine if it is malignant or not and if so then surgery would be becessary to prevent the cancer cells from spreading further throughout the body. The bloodwork would make sense to make sure that all the levels are normal to see if the surgery would be possible due to any health risks.

Based loosely on what I described ,what is the likelyhood that it is something less major? Abcess, etc...

It could very well be an abcess as well as this will cause a knot to form just as a cancerous tumor would so the best thing to do is to have bloodwork at least performed while allowing the antibiotics to become effective as well. This way they are able to determine if there is a need for further treatment as with cancer it will cause an abnormality in the bloodwork to show up if this is more serious then an abcess or gum disease such as gingivitis.
