My Lima Shovel Nose has this nasty thing on his back!

Nothing pointy... But now the "thing " looks bigger (24 hours later)

Ewwww......
That's nasty

Ewwww......
That's nasty

Thanks for the help

Sorry I couldn't be more help, I hope some of the experts chime in.
Also maybe post in the catfish forum if you haven't already. That might get some more attention.
Good luck for sure, I hope he licks it whatever it is

Like Charney said, it could be a developing abscess.

can you pull the cat out of the water and take some closer and clear pictures? Do you have a qt tank we can move it to for treatment?
