Talked to the vet about an hour ago, he came through surgery fine! YAY! She said the little bugger woke up towards the end when she was sewing him up, even though he was on full gas....as she put it, he was done sleeping. Crazy rat. She said he was out for 99% of the surgery so he didn't appear to feel anything.

She said it appears to be an adenocarcinoma, so yes cancer, but she said it peeled right out and although it may "eventually" come back to that spot, he should be good for a few months as she got it all.

I'm so glad he's doing good. Scary that he woke up, weird that happened.

 

[lilspaz68]

Fantastic!!! I love to hear when tumours "shell out"

Yay for Dusty!!!! :bliss:

 

[mamarat]

That's great news, Dusty is amazing.

 

[Melissa]

Yay Dusty!

 

[mamarat2]

Fred said he got him home and put him in his cage, Dusty was running all around his cage. Hasn't been able to truly "run" much lately with that thing on him.....awwwww my sweet rat!

 

[raindrop]

I am glad things went well. I bet it was easier to run with the thing gone.

I'm so glad he came thru it so well (even if a little too soon).
I hope that the vet was able to get it right down to the bitter ends and he has no recurrence.
Dusty! Don't you know when to relax and sleep thru stuff? Silly guy - I hope you didn't feel any pain or fear kiddo. Now just take it easy if you can and heal up real good & quick, ok? :kisses:
Welcome home baby.
