You have two choices for mammary tumor: you can leave it be and it will grow until the rat is sapped of her energy and can not longer function hence will need to be put to sleep. Or you can bring her to the vet and have the tumor removed. And to reduce her chances of more tumors, I recommend you also have her spayed. Her chances of tumor recurrence will go from 78% to 4%.
