[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 437519, member: 7083"] Thank you for the input, Marg. I think we're going to do the amputation. This guy has such a will to live - he shouldn't have lived through what he did as a baby. We have to make a decision tonight because after tomorrow our vet is gone til after the 4th of July. The other vet in the practice doesn't treat pocket pets. So, the surgery is tomorrow or it may be too late. It's a very fast growing tumor. I don't use pesticide sprays. Or I should say, I almost never use them, and I never use them around the animals. They make me sick and I don't like the idea of chemicals like that in the house anyway. We feed lab blocks by Harlan Tech - they were created for lab rats, or by studying lab rats. Something like that. We were making our own rat food, but discovered that we could buy the lab blocks - which are recommended by vets and rescues and those that know a lot more about rats than we do - for less than it cost to make our own food. And we supplement with fresh fruits and veggies. [/QUOTE]
