Only this time it was something many long time owners of female
rats have had to deal with.
Yes she had mammary tumors. Three of them to be exact, about
45-50mm in diameter. Very encapsulated with no invasion into the
abdomal cavity. She recoverd quickly from anesthesia and is back to
her good old "stick that hand near the cage and I'll keep it" self.
8^) She is such a sweety outside but very territorial the cage.

Update, picked her up the same afternoon, fully recovered and fiesty
as ever. She appears to have pulled a stitch or two but no active
bleeding. This tumour took alot out of her as she looks very aged...

Oh yes, I have one of those, too. Pichu is our hairless female. She loves a
good rub, but only after she has sufficiently made sure your finger is NOT
food, LOL. Actually, she is pretty blind, so her teeth are her eyes. But I
love her honery self. She is a strapper.

Hugs for your wee one,
Lynn

How much did this operation set you back? Our two girls are getting up
there in months, and we'll probably have to go through this ourselves soon.

About $50usd give or take a few. Had to tie in some emergency for my
dog who'd torn the skin on an ear, so it worked to $75usd. But the ear
was cheaper by far.
