lump

My rat Kola who I adopted from unknown origin has had a little lump on her back right leg for about a week and today I saw that it was scabby so I decided to try and clean it and add antibiotic. When I added a small amount of pressure this thing started coming out, the “scab” was a side of it...

One of my rat has these two lumps that seemed to have formed sometime today while I was gone. I’m going to get her a vet appointment when they open tomorrow. Does anybody know what they could be or what I could do about them?

Please help. A few moments ago i found a lump in between my rats stomach and leg/thigh. I'm freaking out becauseim afraid it might be cancer. But it's not connected to any muscle its kinda like on extra skin?? I don't know! She's 3 years old now and this is sickening me

So I’ll try to keep this brief, but I want to give enough detail: Ron is 2+ years (rescue so not sure). He had a lump on his neck which grew quickly and our trusted vet removed. He healed up nicely and was back to normal soon after. 6-8 weeks later, the lump had returned. Again, it grew fast...

One of my rats has a very large bone like lump on the back of his head/neck, it has no movement whatsoever and feels just like a bone. I have absolutely no idea what this is, I will post pictures in the morning but until then if anyone has any ideas it would help me relax. I will be taking him...

Hi, I found this odd red bump on my male rats lower stomach, right above his testicles a few days ago. Has anyone ever seen something like this before? He's behaving normal and he occasionally licks the area. I will definitely be making a vet appointment tomorrow but just wondering if anyone has...

Does anyone know what this can be?? Had a small lump last week now it looks scabbed? Any help would be great :) He's one yr seven months

Hi all, My rat Loki seems to have developed a small lump on his cheek, right next to his mouth, it seems to have appeared over the course of 3 days or so. Here are some photos: I have a vets appointment at 5pm today, but I wanted to get some further insight on what it could be before I go...

Our rat Cocoa has a growth that I just noticed last night. It feels pretty soft when palpated, but is in a location that makes me think it may be a mammary tumor . It’s under her right armpit. How can I distinguish between an abscess (this seems to have appeared somewhat suddenly-in the last two...

Hello all, I’m really in need of some advice here. I have a male fancy rat, he’s about 1.5 yrs old, 800g and not neutered. I realised today that he seemed to have developed a soft lump with a slightly sunken centre and squishy all around, but a little irregular. Easily moved around basically...

So, this is my first post on here but I figured I’d ask about something I noticed on my sweet girl, Venus. I got Venus with her sister, Neptune, last April from a local pet store. Yes, I know to try to avoid pet stores but it was a mom and pop store so I felt a little safer getting my girls from...

hi all, my 11 month old male rat, spanky, has had a lump on his left side for a month or so now- but until recently it did not appear to be bothering him. i checked it again today, and it has increased quite a bit in size and is now red and scabbed over on top. it is firm and beneath his skin...

Hello, recently my rat Bandit has grown a rather large, round lump on her throat. I am not exactly sure of her age but she is under 3 months old. The lump is hard to the touch and the skin seems to move over it. I shaved the area so I could get a better photo, the bald spot is not from hair...

Hello Rat Family, I have a fairly healthy two year old girl, aside from the occasional sneeze. I took her to the vet and they put her on enrofloxacin (also baytril I believe, but i declined that medication due to lack of funds). She has seemed to sneeze a bit less now, but I've been thinking...
