How long can a rat live if it has a tumor?I've recently discovered a tumor under my rat's arm. It is a benign mammary tumor. I don't plan to surgically remove it. So I want to know how much time I have with my rat before she is no longer enjoying life?
my rat is 15 months old

They can live a long time with tumours but the tumour will keep growing and reduce her mobility, probably best to have it removed.

honestly rats do not have that long of a life span in the first place. your looking at three years for a completely healthy rat. with the tumor I have no idea? it depends on how bad it is and if it will get worse or go away.

it will probablly live a normal life span which is only about 3-4 years. i'm sure he will be fine and live a nice happy life:)

I had a rat that got a benign tumor under her arm it grew really fast and I wished I had gotten it removed. It grew to be as big as she was,(no lie) she had a stroke and it was a horrible ugly, sad thing to see. I felt so sorry for her, please please get it removed while it's small.
