My poor ratty :[

My poor rat cinnamon has a tumor under her little arm and I don't know what to do if I should get her surgery, but thats so expensive is there medicine or anything I can do:(

Surgery is the only option to remove it. There are no medications to rid of it. I have two females with tumors and my vet wants over $500 to remove the tumors for each of them. Check the fees at your vet office, I am sure they are lower than that, since my vet seems to be the only butthole with outrageous prices. I feel your pain. I have had 4 females that had tumors- it sucks so much! :mad: :(

Since your price is so high what do you think you are going to do with them??

I'm sorry to hear about your ratties. I'm always scared about my ratties and that they will get a tumor someday.

If no vet in the area has a lower price...nothing... :(

Poor Cinnamon:( Hopefully your vet's cost is lower than 500.00:( Perhaps he would allow you to pay over time? I'll be thinking of you and your precious little rattie.

my male rat has two tumors on his left side. :(.
rats get tumors, it is just a fact of life I guess.
I wouldent let it get too big because that can cause alot of problems for your rattie.

talk to your vet.

My kids had several female pet rats, they are prone to these breast/underarm tumors. The only problem with removing them is they usually get another one. On the up side our rats survived quite a long time after the tumor first appeared. I always wondered if the diet made them worse our rats liked junk food so that is something to think about.
