pet albino rat

Question
My daughter held her pet albino rat tonight.  She noticed two puffed areas that seem to me to be cysts or maybe tumors.  They seem pretty soft, as if filled with fluid, but they seem to have a firmer center.  She doesn't seem to be in pain from them.  Can you give me an idea of what they are and how to treat them?
Thanks!

Answer
How fast did these lumps appear?  Please check out my page on mammary tumors also. If they are not abscesses, they are more than likely mammary  tumors and they will need removed by a good small mammal vet.  


Here is info on mammary tumors on my website:
