Magic had a lump near her groin. It was very slow growing. The vet removed it and said there was a lot of bright green pus there. It's been 3 days after her surgery and the lump is still there but smaller. Do you think he missed some or it just grew back? Do you think it's a tumour or abscess? If there's anyone who can give me some advice it would be great

I would contact the vet. It could be a fluid/abscess filled pocket. Would be my guess.

Magic had a lump near her groin.... The vet removed it...

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost? One of my rats has a lump, too, that will be examined on Friday. We live in different countries, so the comparison isn't exactly valid, but I'm still curious nonetheless.

Call your vet and demand a free recheck. It sounds like the lump is an abscess that just needed drained and maybe antibiotics

I will be going back to the vets tomorrow. But every one I encounter seems clueless on rats so I will probably need to advise them.

The operation cost me £120

She's on baytil at the moment. Which is worrying me because surely if it was an abscess the baytril would make it go away?
