Rose went in this morning to have 2 tumors removed. About a month ago she had vaginal bleeding which went away with meds and returned within the last. The vet said lets go ahead go in and remove the tumors by this time there were 2 right next to each other and not just the original one.
So he called a few minutes ago to tell me that not only did she have the external tumors but she had a internal vaginal tumor. By the time he removed the hard black tumor and the internal tumor he did not have time to remove the smaller less concerning tumor. But his hopes for Rose's recovery is not good. He believes the internal tumor will return quickly and cause urinary problems and discomfort and if it gets to this point he does not think it is a good idea to remove it again.
So we will take Rose home she will move into the old lady retirement for peace and quiet and we will go from there.
I just am at a loss.
What are your experiences with internal tumors? Have you had days, weeks, months, just depends on the rat. What can I do to slow the tumor down, anything?
