| | Because mammary tumors are just under the skin the surgery to remove them is minor, as opposed to major surgery which enters a body cavity, and rats usually recover quite quickly. | | | While there is a chance that any rat could develop another tumor later, the surgery will probably save her life and definitely improve the quality of her life for months to come. | | | Hopefully in the future, more rats will be tumor resistant, but until then, you need to be on the lookout for this life-threatening disease in your rats. |
