So last time I went and cleaned out Pixel's cage I noticed a lump around her left hind leg. Took her to the vet today just to confirm what I had already guessed and turns out she has a tumor growing there that needs to come out. Good news is that it's most likely benign, female rats are notorious for getting these things, and the surgery is fairly simple and straight forward. Bad news is that it's going to cost around 350.00 dollars to get something the size of a grape removed and the meds to knock her out for the surgery are just as dangerous health wise as the procedure itself.
-Sigh- I just looked at Maxine when I got home from the vet and told her 'Don't you even think about joining her dog.'

Thanks for the thoughts everyone.
Pixel went in for surgery this morning....Sadly she never woke up again. The vet said that they managed to get the tumor removed, but at the end of the procedure she went into cardiac arrest and was never able to recover.
Hugging Maxine close right now.
