We took in two sick senior rats in October. One had severe upper respiratory symptoms and passed away shortly after she came into our care despite medical intervention.

Her sister, Mabel, had a large mammary tumour. It was so large that she had difficulty moving and we weren’t sure if removal was possible. She saw Dr Munn at Norwood Veterinary Services and he was able to remove the tumour. The picture shows its absolutely incredible size. Mabel has bounced back amazingly well. She is now an active, happy girl who will enjoy her retirement months much more comfortably. Every life matters. Big or small.
