So last night I noticed that my rat (supposedly almost 2) has large lump beside her right hind leg, it's soft and kinda squishy. I checked her bedding and on the tissues there were little red specks, I'm assuming it's blood, but from what I can see she doesn't seem to have any external injuries or cuts. She's acting normally, still eating etc. I'm just really worried because it's quite big (like walnut sized) and it just appeared out of nowhere. I'm going to take her to the vet on Monday but I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what it is; abcess, tumour? It was really hard to take a picture and she's probably not very happy with me right now.
