We got an RTB today. She's about 6 yrs old, only about 3 ft long, and a decent handful around. been fed one med-large rat a month. She has a bit of mouthrot, a URI, was covered in mites, her heat was a hot rock (that...woohoo... got donated-TRASH!!) Since she's not very big- i was thinking she may have internal parasites.
The question I have is- she has a bump close to the end of her tail- a bit smaller than a golf ball. any ideas?

BEFORE anyone says it- yes we're going to the vet- but since I get a discount- my stuff comes last so it won't be until next week sometime and seeing as how we're on tuesday- that gives me a bit of time to sit and ponder what the 'lump' is.
any help would greatly be appriciated. and the poor thing is being quarantined in a totally different house from our other stuff- not had one this bad in YEARS!!! I won't even put her in the quarantine room with the other 2 quarantine-ees....

thank you
Beth
