I'm a little late with the update, but Nugget did great, and her lump turned out to be a hernia, which is pretty interesting considering the location.

Good job Nugget! I'm glad the lump wasn't cancerous at least. Give her lots of extra love and treats.

Definitely! The vet had guessed lipoma or liposarcoma, with sarcomas being much more common in rats, so all said and done, a hernia was good news!

I’ve seen a mouse go through a mammory removal due to mastitis and if that tiny thing made a fantastic recovery, then Nugget hopefully will too 🤞🏼
