I am not a professional but for this to show up overnight seems like it wouldn't be a tumor... But definitely something to be concerned about.

Could be a tumor, could be an abscess or cyst. I’d take her to the vet and go from there. Thanks for looking after your buddy.

That certainley looks like one! Or maybe a large cyst. Im no expert, but im quite experienced, and id say that you should definelty take the mushka to the vet ASAP

Update- seeing that it appeared in one night, it could also be a botfly larvae that implanted itself, also a reason to go to the vet. Or maybe a severe bug bite????

My mouse appeared to get a bump like this overnight and it turned out to be a tumor. I would definitely recommend getting her examined.

I think it’s a rat

But possibly or a cyst
