My sophie is having a benign fatty tumor removed today as its starting to affect her movement.

although it looks huge, thats about right for rats (they grow v quickly). She is 2 years old too and having it cut off today.

fingers crossed!
 
phoned up and she came round from her anaesthetic :D im so happy!

the lump removal and relavent drugs / aftercare came to £80
 
yeah, but there is always a risk with small animals and surgery.

The lump has been there for 7 months but hasn't affected her movement and whatnot, and although she was bright eyed and bushy tailed - it was starting to annoy her. so it was finally time.
 
i just phoned up again, she's fully awake and messing around in her cage.

she is a little piggie so I expect she'll eat soon
 
she hopefully will be back with me tomorrow, they will lkeep her overnight to make sure she doesn't pull her stiches out

Must say she looks fairly large
Click to expand...

both her and her sister are big, the other rat in the cage (of a similar age) is much smaller. sophie weighs 500g and amy (sister) weighs 400g

nose to tail, they are both longer than my computer keyboard :)
 
yeah, sophie is 2 years old with a slight respitory infection and was 150g overweight!

here is her now :)
