You can tell she wanted that thing gone. She was so calm and co-operative. You can tell she felt better after. Great job!
Ferayn Ironmane thank you so much for your kind comment😊 she had it for a while and her owner asked me to help since this is something I’ve done a few times. She’s a happy thriving healthy rat. It never returned. I cleaned it very well. Yes, she was so relieved after 😊😊
Soak the scab off first, then you can see where the opening is.
Yes. The scab will soften and lift so you will find the head without having the poke holes with a needle.
Everyone I just want to give an update on the pet rat..... she healed great! The cyst never came back, and she’s a very happy little girl with her family ❤️ I have had many pet rats, a few of them have had these cysts, usually in the same area because it’s a hard area for them to get to to clean.
It seemed like you got the sack out in the end, the very last piece, and that's why it didn't come back. You did a great job! Did you have any antiseptic to clean the wound afterwards?
I am so glad to hear that!!
Samir C. Cat yes just warm water to wipe it down right after, but it healed so quickly.
Feed that thing to a snake
@@pbsimmons2303 Why? This no different than me saying that you should poison your cat or dog. It's unnecessary. Just because she's a species that is considered to be a pest doesn't mean she deserves to be treated any less than a dog or cat.
It seems crazy to me that people don't wear gloves when doing ANY procedures on animals OR humans.
I never said tumor, I said cyst. And that can be a result of many things, including infection. I’ve had pet rats for years and a vet would have done the same thing except charge me a ton of money. I’ve done this a few times and have never had a bad outcome. Thanks for your concern 👍🏻
Usually it's just a ingrown hair that causes it nothing u can really help
Oml, I love your kid's commentary. It's pretty accurate pfft
Gay isopod 😂
Gay isopod thx that’s me
Very responsible pet owner you are, not a lot of pet owners would do this, I highly respect you for this. ❤️
Shilo Harrington thank you so very much for your sweet comment ♥️ I really appreciate it 😊
Beanie Mom Not a problem, I’m glad to meet you here on UA-cam, you are awesome! I own cats and a parakeet myself, I’m a huge animal lover! I love little ratties too! If I may ask, what is your rats 🐀 name? ❤️❤️❤️

Shilo Harrington sorry for the very late reply 😩 I haven’t been on here in a while. That sweet rattie was my friends, she unfortunately has since passed due to her age as they have a short life span. But I still have my pet rats 💖 I always rescue the ones from the pet store from being sold as food 😞 they are amazing pets.... very sweet and smart.
Actually it's all gone, has never come back.... she is doing amazing!!!! Has never returned. I've done a few on several pet rats and have all done great
Beanie Mom well done girl u did good how is it now??
Granto 67 hi I’m so sorry I just noticed your comment, thank you!!! She has since passed of natural causes, but she lived a happy rat life ❤️
I’m sure she felt relieved
awwww you seem like such a nice mom! i wish i had someone like you growing up
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m living for that little kids reaction
Isabela Garcia 😂 😂 thank you ❤️❤️
Hi I’m that kid
The fact she was so calm and cooperated shows she knew she wanted it off
I flipped out when my little guy had one. I thought it was a scab but when I squeezed, THAT stuff came out. I just cleaned it and now he seems way happier. So glad this video was up. ❤️
I’m so glad to bread that ❤️
Please do not use rubbing alcohol on rats. And you'll want to prepare the site with a warm compress beforehand. I don't know if you've ever squeezed an infected cut of your own but it hurts like a mamma jamma. The rat isn't showing HUMAN SIGNS OF PAIN. That does not mean she does not feel pain. I don't know how you prepared your hands but gloves should also be used for you and your rats' sake. Squishing an infected wound or cyst may push the bacteria further down and is not recommended.
Katt Clarke exactly! Thank you for saying this. People like to personify their pets and excuse their “at home” operations like this to save money.
Ok ms.Know it all
@@AmandaTitus85 not hurting them
Abscess, not cyst. But lancing and cleaning out an abscess is the correct treatment. They get them because they have rather loose skin that isn't very vascular-doesn't have a huge amount of blood flow through it, and because they prefer living communally. They climb all over each other, "and if there's an accidental scratch from another ratty's claw, it can develop into an abscess.
I had a hairless girl who often got them, since she lacked the protection of a hair coat. I took Ms. Pink to the vet the first few times (vet waived the exam fee, but still costly visits) then asked to be trained to do it myself. My vet trained me, and I did the rest myself. You did an excellent job there, and you are so right: rats really are the most loving, licky, sweet-natured love-magnets in the entire pet trade!
alterego thank you so much!! Yes I absolutely love rats and would never do anything to hurt any animal. I have even taken in strays that have been injured and taken them to the vet. I really do appreciate the positive feedback. It’s nice to know how many other rat lovers there are! I’ve gotten rats for 4 of my friends lately that would never have gotten one had I not made a believer out of them lol. And they LOVE them!!!! They do not bite, they give kisses and cuddle and are great with other pets as long as you know they won’t hurt them. You should see my other video of my rat and dog playing. I have recently lost my ratty and I was devastated. And unfortunately they have a very short life span. But I always buy the feeder rats to save them and give them a chance at life 😊 thank you again!
Beanie Mom me too.. And about 10 years ago, I did all I could to improve conditions for rats who were being kept in terrible, overcrowded, unheated, unhealthy conditions at a children's play park that kept birds of prey and snakes. The rats were food for those other animals. I called the humane society, surreptitiously took video and pictures, and even tried to get local news media involved, with no luck. The way the laws are here, rats are exempted from anti-cruelty legislation, and the news media reps told me that no one would care about rats... If it was kittens or bunnies, sure, but not rats. So I started smuggling the sickest and neediest out myself and rehoming them to people from an email list for rat owners. That lasted until my company was outbid by another, and I lost access to the site. I never stopped trying to get people interested in smacking that place with a cruelty charge though...
I treated a ton of abscesses over the two years that I was getting the rats out of there. And even though they had never been handled kindly before, I only got bitten once. That was a mum with babies who likely thought I was trying to take the babies away. I totally understood. Rats really are amazing. They always seemed to know when I was trying to help.
alterego oh no that’s so sad!!!! Your a wonderful person to do that. It’s so sad how they get treated. Infuriated me to no end!!!! They are so sweet and smart. They’re very sensitive and I swear I wish I can rescue them all. People act like they have no feelings. Your a good person. Thank you
Rat : now im prettier 🫦💅🏻🤳🏻
I had to do it today for our new 8 weeks old rat. She developed big cyst under neck just couple of days after bringing her home. New to rats I had no idea, thought it's tumor like hamsters get. Watched it for couple of days, she started to scratch it, luckily didn't have to use needle too hard as it already started to soak around edges. Amount of puss was unbelievable, it must have been huge relief for rat to have it out. Now just waiting for hard bit to come off, didn't want to pull,as it covers large area of skin. Hope will not have to do this procedure to often, I'm already on duty to clean our dog anal glands on regular basis ...brrr
Hi!! Thank you for your comment, I’m so sorry for the 2 year late reply 😔 I unfortunately don’t notice all my comments on my phone. But I sure do hope that your rattie did ok ❤️
My little girl Iris got a cyst on her neck, though hers was under her chin so it was a little trickier to drain. Drained it as thoroughly as I could and in the morning I’ll do a check in to see how she’s doing. But your video helped a lot with the removal!
Annie R thank you, hope your girl is doing good❤️
such a sweet little girl-you love her very much
brennies24 thank you♥️
My rat had one of those in that same area a month ago and it cleared up then within a week she got another one :/ any advice on what to do? I don’t pop it myself I just let it rupture on it’s on. Also she has a huge hole on her face now what is the best way for after care for these things
Needle was too small to make a good incision. I would use an xacto blade or something next time so you aren’t poking around as much 👍
Maggie E I completely agree!!! Thank you, I did end up getting one just Incase for the future.
WOW! This is recommended after 7 years! Cool video! ❤
Hi, she's doing GREAT!!!!! It never came back, happy Lil rattie ❤️
FYI Bactine spray disinfect and numbs
Penny Wainwright thank you for sharing ❤️
God bless you for having the courage and guts to do this 🙏 I hope this video shall help other rat owners in the future who can't afford a vet visit, as a last resort. Would you happen to know what causes these types of cysts? For those who'd want to try and avoid them.
UgalluHydri thank you very much!!!!!
Vectrex I’m not sure the cause, I always thought maybe because it’s a hard place for them to clean???? Not sure. But it actually feels like a big pimple
My pet rat has a cyst, I'm type 1 diabetic, and I poked it, it took several try's but all of the sudden this gross puss started coming out. Iv been raising rats for about 10 years now, and iv never seen anything so gross
Steven Joseph I also have had several pet rats. And I've come across this same situation three times already in the same area. Not exactly sure why this happens. But it's something that can be treated at home instead of running them to the vet every time. Now if it comes back, or they continue to get them in other areas then I would definitely recommend taking them to a vet. This area under their neck is a hard spot for them to clean which is why it's so common. I also clean the area for them once a week with a pet wipe. This particular rat is doing great..... 😊
Beanie Mom thanks
Steven Joseph yes sir my friend!!
She so happy right now
The kid is hilarious!!!
Im going to attempt this.My ratty has a cyst in the same place.Id take her to a vet,but vets want so much money,its a sin! I may use an exacto knife though and make a slit.
NEAT. NEVER WATCHED THAT BEFORE.
Julius Davis glad you watched ☺️
That was done very well like thay do at the vet very good cute pet 🐀🐁🐀🐁☺☺☺☺
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
That wasn't an infection. That was a large blackhead!! That's the reason it was so hard to pop and the stuff had to come out the side. That was a huge blackhead! Never thought one would get that big on a rat!
How do I know if my rat has this? She has a bump but im scared to touch it she doesn’t like it being touched, its also right under her neck...
The way we found out is because it was draining pus prior. So we knew it was a pimple or a cyst. Some rats can have others that may be cancer and I wouldn’t touch those. It may be hard to tell. I hope your rattie will be ok 😊
Do you know if the same can be done with a mouse? I have a pet mouse who has a large bubble like thing on her side just behind her arm that lets her walk still but i dont know what it is or how to help her, its not a tummer, i checked for the signs, she itches it alot and i'm worried about her
ToxicVoidBrokenSoul oh no I’m sorry, I hope your mouse is ok. I know they also get mammary tumors and I would not touch those because usually it’s a sign of cancer almost like breast cancer. But those are on their bottom side.
Sweet little rattie, glad she’s better!
Shilo Harrington thank you!! Yes she’s amazing!! Hyper Lil girl lol
Beanie Mom But so darn sweet! ❤️😊
I watched the video again she was so good, very smart baby!
What a lovely patient rat! Letting u do that
They can feel.
It’s helping them
And of course they feel it
Hydrogen peroxide will open the boil up better.
Stoney Browning thank you!!! I will certainly do that if it happens again. Peroxide is amazing
I really appreciate those kids 😂 'Ew ew ew ew ew EEWWWW!' Also what a good rattie!
Darby Andrews thank you sweetheart!!! Very sweet comment 😊 my kids are a trip lol. My son that is filming is 9........ he was grossed out 😂 but the rat is good, cyst never came back 😊
What did you use ??
Your a good mom.
Great job
Michael Williams 😊 thank you!!
Aww happy rat parents :)
Georgia Grant thank you❤️
What were you talking about when you said she doesn't feel it? I'm neither a rat owner nor rat lover but I suggest they do have nerves and sensitivity to pain!
Harley Hippee it’s like squeezing a pimple.
Harley Hippee yes they do feel things, however in this instance she had very dried out crusty tissue, like a pimple and that was a tiny tiny needle. I honestly would not have done it had she felt any pain ❤️❤️
What a sweet rat.
For everyone watching this for advice THIS IS NOT A CYST ITS AN ABSESS
If you don't get the sack out, it will come back.
My rat has a huge bump on his back it came up over night it's like idk but there is a bald spot and the vet is trying to charge 450 he SAYS it's an abscess but idk??? Said he needs surgery so idk what to do. But other people are saying it's just a tumor and non cancer so idk how to deal with it.
Koda Shanice awe poor baby. Yes, the vet will charge a lot to take care of it. I have had several rats and many of them have had these problems. This is the same way I have always done it. I usually use a warm wet towel to put on the area and I find that it helps to. And I’ve never had any bad side effects after I’ve done it. All lived healthy happy lives after 💕😊 good luck with you baby ❤️
Good Job! I have 2 Kangaroo Rats (aka Gerbils), so it's good to know what to do, Thank You 😊 😊
LadyKattz thank you❤️
Mine has a huge one I’ve popped it multiple times times and it’s still coming back
We took our rattie baby girl to the vets today. It's confirmed she has a cyst. You are brilliant and you look like you know exactly what you are doing. Shame we don't live closer, otherwise I would of asked you to get rid of my baby girls cyst.
I could do it if you live near Rhode Island.
Unfortunately I don't. I live in the UK. Maybe you could advise on how to do it myself please?
might I ask how she's doing? The placement of that abcess reminds me of a Zymbal gland tumor.
s Holder hi yes she’s doing amazing
Хочу такую Моську. Но в деревне этого не поймут. Я год всем доказывала, что пекинес это собака ,тут все её зовут неизвестным зверьком
Wow..that is one well behaved rat. My gerbil would've bit me multiple times..
Miranda Clarke yes she’s such a sweetie♥️
who's at lunch and watching right now?
Vini Terranova 😂 😂
Wow. poor girl. I wonder if a warm compress would have helped speed up the process? Also, would it be better to flush it out with saline after or not really necessary?
Vanessa G hi, she's doing amazing after!! She's actually at my house right now😊 it's my friends rat. It never came back. I will be doing a follow up video soon.
You should absolutely rinse out wounds like this with saline to flush out the bacteria.
Poor ratty you guys did a good job tho.
Beth Razz thank you 😊
Eww ewe eww shut up
You shouldn’t do this by yourself because you still need to take out the sac that the cyst was in or else it will just come back ☺️
Morgan Leigh hi, thank goodness she did very well after and never returned 🤗
My female rats neck also feels like there is a ball in there but what should I do can it kill my rat help
Bliend Gamers.16. # I’m so sorry I just saw your comment..... I hope your baby is ok!!!
Omfg i love the kid ew ew ew ew ew
Lol
CoopersGrim thx that’s me
"It looks like a turd!" Absolutely killed me XD
Nicole Draws 😂 😂 😂
I need to try to do this with my mouse...
are cysts common on rats? I've had 6 and none of them have had them
순임니키 hi. Yes they are. Not all of them will get them in their lifetime, but I’ve had about 6 also and 3 have had them. This rat on the video is my friends rat. It never came back, she is doing great 😊
I've had 10 none have had it
one of my rats had one a few months ago. she wasn't as calm as yours was. lol but shes healed up fine now
Was this perhaps a cyst caused by a zymbal’s gland tumour? My rat had something *very* similar in basically the same spot and we figured out it’s from a zymbal’s gland tumour
Daniel Vermaak I’m not exactly sure. It was very close to the surface and scabbed. Like the rattie was scratching at it. But she did really good after and lived a full life 💓
Daniel Vermaak I’m not exactly sure. It was very close to the surface and scabbed. Like the rattie was scratching at it. But she did really good after and lived a full life 💓
You poked her about 100 times
Is her name beanie? I ask bec my baby girl Willow who was a Pekinese, nickname was Beanie
I have to agree she was ready for it come out
Looks like a really big zit popping procedure.
Aleksandra Makari yes lol, exactly like that!!!!
The rat is so small and ALL of that came out of the poor girl.
I just finished doing this to my boy. He's actually a big baby and gets frightened and can't stand even when I accidentally pet him too rough. He was crying badly and will probably hate me for 2 days
I bet your Lil guy feels a lot better though. 👍🏻♥️
We must care for all of God‘s animals. Bravo to you.
My wife and I got a rat for our kids 1.5 weeks ago and the poor little guys has a cyst. We thought about taking him to a vet but it’s $65 just to have a check up, we were at a complete loss until this video so thank you!
Any advice before we attempt a cyst pop? Anything we should prepare for? Will the little guy bite me when I do this?
Alex Warner thank you sir I’m so glad I could help 😊 I’ve never had any of mine bite me, I’ve done this to 3 different pet rats with no issues ever. But I would also recommend buying a bottle of animal antibiotics at a feed store. It’s a capsule that you can mix with yogurt that they love to eat. I’m not a professional or a vet or anything but this has always worked for me 😊 good luck to yal with your rattie!!
Such a cute little baby girl! How has she been Mom?
Shilo Harrington hi!!! Thank you, and thank you for asking! She has since passed away due to her age, but she did live a happy loving life with her family ❤️
Beanie Mom I’m so sorry and I know she had a loving, caring, family with you. I hope to keep in touch! You are an amazing pet owner!
Shilo Harrington thank you!! You are very sweet ❤️
They have come a long way since The Plague....
Turned off the conversation. Good job on the procedure.
Yeah, the background commentary was... less than pleasant. Glad the bump healed up, though!
Poor rat
No gloves??
Very unprepared...hydrogen peroxide wasn't even open . Always set everything up beforehand so you are ready and not fumbling around.
If you think its NASTY you have 2 options 1 go to a vet 2 where gloves
Awww poor little baby!! 😞 but she was so cute though!! 😍
DrCarters GirlDBD thank you ❤️ so was an adorable rattie
such a sweet. little rat- you did a great job
brennies24 thank you so much ❤️❤️
Gloves ppl😮
And all that poking with a needle for it to burst somewhere else ur ment to warm compress and soften the scab and pierce the scab not her flesh
It’s probably better to leave the scab be. Since now all the gross stuff is out now. Picking at the crusty scab will take the skin longer to heal and the hair grow back.
Awww she knows that y’all are trying to help her...😍🥰
Eliana Nicolson yes she did!! She acted so different once it was gone!!! She was relieved 💖
You obviously Love your baby alot. Thank You for caring so much about your baby. He's adorable.
Vickie Coulter thank you 🥰
I love my pets..., but, if u r a diabetic, yiu have no business doing this without gloves on, u know that, right?
Now that granny has nagged, I have to say, the rat is very cute❤️
Penny Wainwright hi, thank you!!! Well thank goodness I have since found out I’m not diabetic, but instead hypoglycemic 🙏🏻 it’s still bad but better.
Poor thing that alcohol is going to burn
Are one of you diabetic
🤟🏽
Wow, what no gloves
Debra Wronker no, no need for gloves, I didn’t have any open sores and she was a pet rat so not grossed out
@@beaniemom1559 😄
My rat currently has a. Cyst on his private area and because of that he cant pee a tall
I didnt need to make an opening because the cyst was connected to the private area, so when I squeezed It came out if his private area and it freaked me out. Luckily it was all drained out and i gave him a bath with soap and water and made sure it was empty
Then he just mass urinated on my outfit. Gg
this is a infection not a tumor!
ratuslupus skullbones duh..? No one said it was a tumor dip shit it's obvious
TEAM SESH 😂 I never did say tumor right right 😊
If you think ist nasty why no gloved and no vet??
No need for gloves if your hands are clean.
Also, if this can be done safely at home, why pay a vet to do it?
My rat has an absess, I'm tempted to try this but probably won't because I wouldn't know what I'm doing and don't want to make it worse. Meanwhile, the vet charged me $230 a week ago for a visit and some meds to try, and if it doesn't work, suggested surgery which is over $600. I'm not suggesting vets are unnecessary, but IF you have the knowledge to do something like this, why not save the money a vet will charge. Plus, someone told me after my vet appt that the vet I saw tends to try to do extra things that are not needed, just to charge more money.
Melissa Tee I agree. The CDC states that rats do NOT carry diseases harmful to humans or other animals. They don’t carry rabies etc.... This was my friends pet rat who asked for my help since I’ve had this issue before with pet rats. And yes it is very costly to go to the vet when it’s something that can simply be done at home. Had it been larger or a solid type of mass I would not have done this. But basically it was like a large pimple. She did amazing after! No problems. Unfortunately she has since passed away due to her age as they have have a short life span ☹️
I think it is abscess not cyst
Rat-cheese. GROSS!!!
She wasn’t in pain if she was she would’ve squeaked. Awesome job 👏
All About Animals NC Shane Williams thank you 😊
They do not have to be squeaking to be in pain. If it would hurt you to be pricked repeatedly by a needle and have a cyst popped like that, then it likely hurts them just as well.
Ratty cyst blarggghh 🤮🤮🤮😋
