My Pet Rat Donut has a Brain Tumor (Pituitary Gland Tumor)
Unfortunately today I have more bad news about Donut, and that's that she has been diagnosed with a pituitary gland tumor. I was able to get her in for a steroid shot within hours of symptoms popping up, and she is now thankfully doing well. Currently she is on oral prednisone, doxycycline, and cabergoline - the pred is to manage brain inflammation, the doxy is to combat the immune suppression effects of the pred, and the cabergoline is to hopefully slow the growth and possibly even shrink the PT if it is prolactin based (which most rat PT's are). Unfortunately all pituitary gland tumors in rats are ultimately fatal, but with treatment you can get back weeks or even months. Its impossible to say how long Donut has left, but I (and our amazing vet) will be fighting for her, and once the meds stop helping, she will be humanely put to sleep.
