A Tumor of a Different Sort… Oh Rats!
Yes, this is a video of a tumor being removed from a small white domesticated rat. It is an awfully huge tumor. And while there is no pus and they did not cut the tumor open, given our recent discussions of rats vs. piglets, I thought this might interest some folks.
I had a pet rat when I was young, about 11 I think. His name was Conan the Attack Rat, but he was sweet as could be. The pet store owner gave him to me free as I was NOT using him to feed a snake. We were together three years before he passed away, unknown cause. Rats make lovely pets!
ENJOY!

I would never have let it get that big before I took it to the vet-
Poor little rat. They do make lovely pets! I wonder about post-surgery?
(What is that?? A flour sack? A newspaper?)
Poor thing. I would have had it to the vet long before it got that big. That was very extensive…wonder if it made it thru it ok.
The poor critter breathed a sigh of relief to have that thing removed.
In high school, I conducted a semester-long experiment that required the assistance of four large lab rats. They managed well on weekends with the provision of extra food and water. The first 3-day weekend to come along, I consulted my biology teacher, who advised a little more food…
It was quite the horrific sight come Tuesday to find only one rat in the cage, dyspeptic, red-stained fur around the lips, and a pile of 3 tails in the corner.
My last rat encounter. I went on to dissect a fetal pig and a cat — turns out that I can manage [almost all] the human pus, blood, and gore, but not the animals.
Question: was all this wondrous sterile technique performed on… newspaper?
I know a doc (medical kind) that did his thesis on the prostrate of rats and invented a new type of instrumentation that destroyed cancer cells on the prostrate glands of rats. I asked him, why rats and he stated the rate and man had similar prostrate tissue. TRUE.
Make that Rat and Man had similar prostrate tissue.
Poor little guy. That must still be hard for you.
The use of animals in research, especially rodentia, has advanced medicine in ways otherwise impossible or impractical. An often conflicted, volatile issue.
How awful! That poor rat! =(
“Rats make lovely pets!”
Yeah right. If it’s an animal you have to keep in a cage, it’s not a pet it’s a zoological specimen at best.
My doctor has a dog at his office. It’s quite friendly and cute. If I saw a rat there. I would not find it friendly or cute. I’d question my choice of doctor.
As to the video, I have no idea what it was that was cut out, but my cat has claimed dibs on the rest of the rat.
Opinions are like aresholes, everyone has one.
This doesn’t bother me because they are helping the rat. My daughter had two pet rats. I kept one for her when she couldn’t be home. These rats are bred for being pets. I think that snake could have been fed the rats that are in our alleys that carry disease and invade our houses and cause damage. That is what I was talking about in snake abscess.
The correct term Half is opinions are like areseholes; everyone has one and they all stink
Owned rats all my life and still dow tih my own children. Rats are very clean and intelligent little animals. Unfortunately most rats pass away from tumor related illnesses. Rats have been bred for so many years to develop various tumors to allow for testing and cientific purposes that it is now part of their genetic make up. Nearly all my rats passed as a result of tumor related deaths, often hitting them within their second year of life.
Not saying everyone has to love a rat, but to each their own. They are my pet of choice.
Please disregard my inability to proof read my submissions. Wish I could edit my post…LOL!
Long time pushead, first time commenter
do you call that rat SMALL?? i had a pet rat, it was a lot smaller than the tumor! bur maybe that’s just our Swedish rats
I love rats, they make fantastic pets! I have had 2 and many of my friends have had them as well. We used to carry them around with us, on our shoulders or in pockets. Our rats only slept in their cages, everything else they came along for. One of my friends even had her boy on her shoulder for her grade 12 photo!
They’re clean, smart and take training well.
My second rat, Arabella, developed a large tumour similar to this in front of her left hip. I had made a vet appointment, and one day before it, I woke up and she had chewed a hole in the tumour and pulled out and eaten all of the innards! She was fine!
D:> She lived for another 2 years after that!
JStorm, any doctor that had ANY animal in the practice would make me think twice about continuing with that GP. Plus, some people are made nervous or allergic to dogs. Go play “This animal > That animal” somewhere else!
susieq, so sorry to tell you its not prostrate its prostate.
makes a very big difference.
