OK , this is not normal. Put your thumb and index finger on the lump.If it moves freely and does not seem attached to a muscle, it's probably an incapsulated cyst, just keep an eye on it. If it's gowing , you may want the Vet to take it off. If pus or liqid comes out, it may be a sore. Kind of yellowy stuf is serous drainage .Sniff you fingers , but don't touch your nose. If it smells like a stinky old sweat sock, it's a cebaceous cyst , an impacted fatty sweat gland. These , too, are benign if not growing any more. A solid lump that seems stuck to the muscle and has no odor, and may be something serious.Vets cost a lot of money, so be realistic if it's something serious.I love all my little furry friends, but sometimes we have to make hard choices. If the hamster is really sick, don't let it suffer .
A tumor on a hamster can appear as a visible lump or swelling on the body. The tumor may vary in size and shape, and it can be either firm or soft to the touch. A vet should examine any abnormal growth on a hamster to determine if it is a tumor and assess appropriate treatment options.
Take it to the hospital if i were you. If you did that than hope he/she lives. Sorry bout your hamster
it wqill have a lump on its butt
I would not attemp to remove the tumor myself (one of my hamsters had a tumor) but to take it to a vet to have it surgically removed if they think necessary.
you should ask your local vet about that...
hamster tumors are just the same as a humans. When you start to feel small or large bumps on a hamster you will know that its a sign and you should immediately take your hamster to the vet, and they will see what they can do, or if your hamster is in pain, they can put your hamster to sleep humanely.
It may be the male hamsters testies or if it is female it may be a tumor.
depends if it is a hamster that is fat or a big bone hamster depends really
A bad smell associated with a mast cell tumor may be due to infection or necrosis (tissue death) within the tumor.
A dog tumor can smell bad because it may be infected or necrotic, causing the release of foul-smelling substances.
If the bumps are raised, but seem like they are under the skin, it may be a tumor. Look for other signs of bad health, like not eating, or a change in normal behavior. If your hamster seems unhealthly or in pain you can take it to a local vet.
