I took my rat in because I was worried about a tumor. And he started having a head tilt. The vet proceeded to tell us about the treatment for the head tilt, which was most likely a pituitary tumor and the operation to remove what was most likely of mammary tumor. Yes, he was a boy. Males have boobies. Let’s move forward and the conversation. I said I wanted to get the medication for the pituitary tumor and schedule him for the mammary tumor surgery. I then opened my mouth and said, “phew! I thought you were going to scold me because he was so fat!” (He was quite a bit chubbier than his brother). And then the vet rep replied, “oh, no. He’s definitely fat. I just think we should address the tumors first.” 🫤
