lump removal
lump removal
I have a 20 month old boy with a lump that has been slow growing and doesn't seem to bother him but I think it is just getting to the point where I should contemplate getting it removed. Would you put a 20 month old through surgery?

Re: lump removal
I think if it was me then I would. I had a doe spayed recently at about that age (she had pyo) after 2 lump removals and she came through it fine.

If he's in otherwise good health, then I would remove it.

Re: lump removal
I put one of my girls through a lump removal at 26 months and she came through absolutely fine, no problems whatsoever. If your boy is generally healthy then I wouldn't hesitate to go ahead with the op

Sadly he didn't wake up from the anaesthetic :'(

Re: lump removal
I'm so sorry. What a shock! It's really uncommon to lose a rat under anaesthetic nowadays, maybe he had a heart problem which you didn't know about.
