One of my female rats I believe she is just a little over a year old has developed a tumor about 4 weeks ago. Already it's the size of an egg, two weeks after discovering it I took her to the vet. Just the office visit alone was $80 they told me if I had her tumor removed more than likely it would grow back. The vet also told me that having her fixed in the process would not help with it not growing back. She said since she's over six months old the hormones already in her body. I live in San Francisco which is extremely expensive, in this time and place. The estimate they gave me for removing the tumor is around $900. No do I think that she's not worth spending the money of , course I don't. But if I spend almost $1,000 and it comes back within a month what was the point. My thought and my husband saw as I should just make her as comfortable and happy for the few months that she has left possibly a year and when it gets too big put her to sleep. Does anyone in the Bay Area know of I vet who cares for rats with a more reasonable price range. Or anybody's thoughts on what I should do. Thank you
