I just found a dark mass on my rat, in her groin area.
She has had this mass for a few months I think, but it has newer significantly grown. Today I was doing her usual check up and found it to be darkened, but still the same size. It is hard and maybe 0.5 to max 1cm in diameter (it's not totally spherical but a bit odd shaped). she is 2.6 years old and has already undergone 2 surgeries for mammary tumors. she has also had cysts, but never in that area. For now she seams active (as active as an old lady with HLD can be), eating, drinking and passing stool regularly... I'm going to check if she has problems peeing but I have not noticed anything until now.
I'll be calling the vet tomorrow morning, but is there anything I can do to be sure it's not jus a weird abscess?
thanks
