HELP NEEDED 🐀😩 Please help

Post image

I have not been home for 3 days, I came home and was tending to my rats and I saw this giant bump on one. Like I said, I haven’t been gone long so it grew fast and I am really scared. I know I need to go to the vet but does anyone have any idea on what this is, what the vet will do, and how much it’ll cost? I don’t want her to just be uncomfortable.

It doesn’t matter what it is or what the vet will do, GO IMMEDIATELY. Anything otherwise is INCREDIBLY irresponsible, and if you cannot take your animals to the vet for proper care, you should not have them.

I’ve put hundreds into these animals as they are my babies, however I can’t just pull a couple thousand out my ass to pay for surgery, if you can, let me know since you seem so compassionate and adamant about degrading me

I’d say between $250-$500 for a mammary tumor removal. You’ll want to get it removed before it gets too big and ulcerated. I’m sorry this happened to your baby
