Unhappy

My mouse has cancer


I have a black female mouse, named Marcus. I noticed that she was getting big and figured that she was just putting on the weight. However, one day I held her up close and noticed that her leg was HUGE! I tearfully took her to the vet and a week later she had her surgery. A lot of blood was lost but she was a trooper and pulled through... her leg was saved..........BUT......now I have discovered another TUMOR!! TO MY SHOCK AND DISBELIEF!!....this one is near her chest.

I know that mammary tumors are the most common in mice, but this has never happened before. And the worst part is that it may be spreading.....

its very noble and great that you took your mouse to a vet. even for surgery. i just took my mouse to the vet for a URI and i was laughed at by other customers and a vet assistant.
sorry about your mousey. but if its her time, its her time. what ever will be will be.
its horrible that mice and rats are so prone to cancer! its just not fair i know

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. You have my best wishes in whatever you end up having to do for her.

Even though a lot of the customers jumped as soon as they saw Marcus.. I really did not mine them... this vet that I saw did a good job of removing her previous cancer...and given another half of a month..if she makes it that is...I'm going to have the vet remove the other one. I just can't bare the idea of quiting on her. I cried so hard when I took her to the vet....I just love the little guy..and if I could get to extend her life...even for a little while longer..then I know I've done the right thing.

But now all I can pray and hope for is that she will recover and be healthy enough for her second, and hopefully last surgery. Lets hope that it won't spread and that this will be the last tumor that will need to be removed! B/c there's no way I'm about to give up on her, my heart wouldn't bare it.
