Just taken Myste into the vet for an operation - she has a nasty big (& rapidly growing) lump on her stomach, which they're going to remove. I am worried - rats being small creatures, there's always a risk from anaesthetics. She is still pretty healthy, though, for a 2-yr-old rat, & she came through fine the last operation she had. Keep your thumbs crossed for her, though... can phone the vet to find out how she is after 2pm.
