Description

Day 198.

We found out about a month ago that Lily has a small mass in her tummy. It's not hurting her or causing any problems, but it is growing and starting to weigh her down, so she walks a bit closer to the ground than she did before. She's about 3 years old now but, other than the mass, she's perfectly healthy! A good weight, good heart, nice lungs. This is why I hate listening to the vet tell us about the future and needing to put her down if it gets too heavy for her. There's an option of surgery, but it's not something we can afford and, due to her age, there's a risk she wont wake up. We don't really know what to do.

The good news is she's very happy and has a ton of energy. Lily is my favorite pet I've ever had. I don't want to think about her leaving.

If anyone has any advice or whatever, that'd be pretty cool.

I can only imagine the worry you must be going through. Though at the same time, all the hope you have that she'll be fine with all the good health you've mentioned she has here. Including a good upbeat attitude, which is also a good sign. I personally do not have a rat, but all the same from how you talk about her, and how much work you've dedicated to her, I can tell that you Love her very much.

I recommended my good friend

to advise you, considering she has alot of good experience with rats, and has even delt with the hardship of loosing them. </3 So I hope her words, including everyone elses here will help you. We all feel for ya, and wish you and your Lily, the very, very best. <3<3
