Are the lumps tiny and symmetrical just above her urethra? They have glands called vestibular glands that can sometimes become blocked or swollen. Alternatively she could just have mammary tumors starting which I wouldn't worry about just yet. Some mammary tumors seem to start out as a...

Love the captions, pictures and their names! What cuties. Sent from my TPC0921 using Tapatalk

How fun! My rats are jealous. Sent from my TPC0921 using Tapatalk

That looks like a mammary tumor (inguinal is the location). I have had these successfully removed. They are best removed while small so definitely get her in to discuss surgery! You may consider having her spayed at the same time if she is a young girl. Sent from my TPC0921 using Tapatalk

Keep improving Gwen!!

I am so happy to hear she is still hanging in there! Instead of water, if you mix crushed tablets in the same amount of syrup, maybe she would be happy when you force it in her mouth. I couldn't ever get Twitch to not wipe her face, so I am glad to hear Matilda stopped. Can you post a picture...

Something to consider trying if you will not have them removed is a deslorelin implant and/or bromocriptine. Even better is if you put them on that after they have the tumors removed. I would like to add that 2 years old shouldn't be an age that surgery is entirely pushed aside. Most rats do...

Rachael, how is Alice doing?

I'm so sorry your boy is so unwell. There are a few things you could try to alleviate his symptoms in the meantime such as dark chocolate, Advil/Motrin (I strongly advise getting some, it shouldn't cost much at all, if you can. We can help with dose. I don't see why you couldn't use an adult...

Wow! I am amazed that they take it without you stirring the medication in very well. If there is one spot I miss while stirring they find it!

The absorbable sutures that are used under the skin or to sew up the muscle always seem to take quite a few months to fully absorb. I wouldn't worry unless it looks swollen or irritated.

Of the 9 I have lost so far, only 1 has died at home of what I think was a stroke (I was a newbie, so what I remember and put together now, that is what I come up with). I find a lot of the time death just takes too long. The body will put up a good fight and continue fighting when the rat has...

If you get just the pills it should be much cheaper. I'm so glad she had a good playtime last night, she's such a darling girl. :heart:

Is the new mass that developed hard? Or does it feel like fluid under the skin? I'm so sorry she has a PT- when you were saying she was clumsy, I thought that could be why. Definitely give her bromo or caber in addition. It has given my girls extra months and it's worth it. If it's any...

So glad she came out! I'm sorry about your arm, I've done similar things such as dropping a plate full of food to catch a rat that was sliding off my shoulder. LOL

I'm gonna get this one! Oh wait, no, I am going to get thi--no this one! I LOVE how playful your ratties are. Very jealous.

The appearance and demeanor of the delicate oldies melts my heart. Alexis looks like such a squish.

Cute little girl. She's like "NOOOOOOO!"

I am so sorry for your losses! We can help you figure out what happened so this doesn't happen again...
