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.
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...
It may be the male hamsters testies or if it is female it may be a tumor.
Now before i answer your question, is the hamster engulfed it the tumor and is it benign?
Get a licensed vet to take a look at it.
It is possible that your hamster has a tumor of some sort.
Yes, it would be a good idea to monitor your other hamster closely for any signs of illness or changes in behavior. Tumors can sometimes be genetic or caused by environmental factors, so it's important to keep an eye on your remaining hamster's health. If you notice any concerning symptoms, it would be best to consult with a veterinarian.
it could be both you should take it to see a vet
Tumors grow very rapidly in hamsters. I found a tumor in my one-year old dwarf hamster the size of a pea three days ago, and it had doubled in size in one day. She just had the tumor removed today and she is doing fine now. I would suggest getting the tumor removed if money isn't too tight and you really love your hamster - most vets have cheaper pocket pet rates, so the total vet bill might be between $150 & $200, much less than a cat or dog.Not long.I am VERY sorry for anyone frantically searching for the answer to this...but the cold truth is: Go find a shovel and a nice box to bury him/her in. :( For future hamsters, be sure to keep them out of SAWDUST. You would think wood shavings and wood dust are the same but they ARE NOT. Sawdust will give a hamster a tumor in as soon as the same day. I did not know this in time, and my sweet baby (Oreo) died at 1 year from getting a tumor from sawdust from the wood floor we were having re-done. :(
