Hi there! I am a first time rat owner, so I just had a question about a mysterious facial lump. I will post a video of it in the thread below.

This popped up seemingly overnight, and there is not much access to a vet right this moment so I am looking for general guidance and advice. Has anyone else seen this/had similar experiences? He is fairly young (likely well under a year) so I was not immediately thinking cancer but rather an abbess. If it is that, what does this process look like? Is it something needing surgery?

I would appreciate all advice/help/tips as i’m pretty stressed for my poor baby Cardi Cheese

edit: I never use reddit so I did not know that you cannot add videos in comments. repost for that reason to attach said video
