As most of my friends and readers here on MyLot know, I have two pet rats - Ari and Nym.
Ari had surgery today to remove a large tumor. The surgery was a success and she is home recovering now!
I am so glad it has been removed and she can now heal up. 
I am staying home with her tomorrow to make sure she doesn't pick at her stitches. Poor girl. She will be okay though!

@MissNikki I saw some rats in a pet store not far from our locale. I was curious that time and asked them who usually buys those rats. They said, most of the people who buy them are biology students and use them for their laboratory. Sad...

@Dextoi Yes, unfortunately rats are used in many experiments... very sad.
