these links will take you to my Deviant Art account and are pictures of sweet pea and her lumps. i didnt post on here due to nature though i didnt upload a pic of the bottom of her lump were the scabs are, as they dont look nice.
and in the past i've had many people moan and nearly ban me for such pictures on FA

she has been vet, twice, first time they said it was too risky due to her res infection, and told me to bring her back when it had gone. and it was hard to get rid of. and last week when it did go i too her back and they said its too big to remove and so wouldnt be able to stitch her back together.(i believe them as in the past the struggle with one of my other rats that had a lump, she was same size but had a smaller lump, sweet pea is much bigger), and secondly there are big veins going in to it and so she would loss a hell of a lot of blood, and may not recover due to her age.

she is also too happy in her self and still does everything she used to even storing foor climbing and making the nests. so pts is a no no.

i my rats are very well cared for and taken to vet asap when things like this happen, and i always have a rat vet jar of money to pay for random illness etc

this vet also are risk takers, but said there's just too many odds against it

sweet pea is still happy in her self, she still has the smae attitude, still makes nest, hoards food, plays with cage mate climbs, and other generally rattie things.

so please dont come to me saying take her to vets, or say your a bad owner, id do anything for my animals. even if it ment id go hungry for weeks to pay for things i will and have done.
