Avatar n tn It would be best to take her to the vet or to get something over the counter at a good pet store. A lump anywhere on a hamster is not a good sign since they can get cancer like all other species.
Avatar n tn I have a hamster about 1 year old. The hamster has black bumps on him. The one looks like it is open and oozing green stuff and it stinks. What could this be?
Avatar m tn Would the smell of the hamster upset the cats? Would the smell of the cats upset the hamster? Can I safely have a hamster in a house with cats? Thanks!!!
Avatar n tn My hamster was fine about 12 hours ago. I came home from work to find her laying in the bottom of her cage. She has little to no movement and looks as if she hasn't eaten in days. I tried to give the hamster about 4 drops of water in two hours and she barely drink it. What should I do. The hamster doesn't apper to have wet tail.
393165 tn?1420760445 We decided next day to get a companion for him and went back to same store and bought a little 3 month old russian dwarf hamster, they got on fine and played for hours, a bit of fighting and sqeeking here and there, but overall the behaviour was fine between them both, until I noticed the bigger hamster on the back of the smaller one constantly, so I took the smaller one out and examined the sex of it again, and it appears to be a female!!! luckily we have two cages so I seperated them both.
Avatar f tn The hamster had chewed on its cardboard box on the way home - so any blood on its teeth would have mostly come off. Hamsters cannot (as far as I know along with other pets) host or replicate HIV.
Avatar n tn One of the best ways to teach empathy in your children is by having a pet. I worry about the lessons that your daughter will learn from the casual attitude afforded to another living thing. When you bring a pet into your home, you should be committed to that animal's well-being. While I'm not suggesting that you should be spending $500 on a hamster, I'm surprised that you didn't factor in the costs of caring for a pet before taking it in.
Avatar n tn Well today was me n my boyfriend 7th year anniversary and my first cousin got engaged wit his boyfriend of a year.

5946774 tn?1389187935 I've had a hamster for about almost 4 months and my 4 year old was very good with him. Occasionally he would pick him up the wrong way or hold him too tight but nothing alarming. I was gonna shower really quick and as always I put my hamster away so my son couldn't get him since he has a tendency of letting him loose in the house.
4601190 tn?1357338863 HAHA that could be bad! My daughter is a bit older, but we do have the animals already... 2 dogs, cat, 2 rats, and some fish. Hubby doesn't take care of them since they are mine (before we got together) so I am sure with a newborn and a couple cages and litter boxes this could be interesting. I'd say try a rat before hamster if they don't bother you, or a guinea pig if you're considering it. Good luck!
Avatar n tn s fine. I had an orange tabby who developed browning on the inside of his lids, but he was 15 years old. This cat is only 2. Anyone seen this before or know what it is?
Avatar m tn Judging by your description, it is most likely a fistula which is a tract that forms from the abscess of your infected tooth that escapes out to the gums. As long as the fistula in intact, your abscess can drain and slow down the spread of the abscess but if the fistula closes up, the abscess can spread rapidly through your face or neck area. I would recommend seeing a dentist and getting treatment started.
Avatar n tn I just got a Dwarf Hamster from Petland 3 for 4 days ago. I just noticed that my hamster has some kind of growth on her back leg. It is the same color as her skin and it doesn't seem to bother her much. I was just wondering if you think it might be a tumor? Should I take her to a vet?

Avatar n tn Our hamster passed away on 11 25 11. We assumed he died of old age. However, after taking photos of him before we buried him. I noticed that his private part was partially black. He did not appear to have wet tail. As a matter of fact he looked pretty good for a 2 year, 5 mo and 4 day hamster. His hair was so soft, no patches, teeth in good condition. No bumps or lumps. But his private part was black in the picture. So, if you have any idea what that could have been. Perhaps, just decomposition?
605439 tn?1220120190 The hamster zona-free ovum test (HZFO test), or hamster test is a method for diagnosing male infertility due to the inability of the sperm to penetrate the ova. This test has limited value for most people experiencing infertility. In this test, sperm are incubated with several hamster eggs that have had the outer membranes removed. After seven to twenty hours, the number of sperm penetrations per egg is measured.
5946774 tn?1389187935 m feeling like a big part of me is missinh right now. I decided to get in the shower since I had peed on myself and put the hamster away and up on top of my drawer where my son couldn't reach him just cause he gets him out and lets him loose in the house. I came out of the shower and my son walked in apologizing that he had killed him and said it was an accident. His little body was limp and I just lost it. I held him until he went cold and stiff and his eyes closed then finally burried him.
Avatar m tn the next morning the boy saw one of the dwarf hamsters trapped or hiding under the broken apart cage, she was wounded. she has a gash on her back. the other dwarf hamster came out three days later. she was the lucky one, no wounds of any sort, just dehydrated. we googled hamster wound and it said to use fish oil to treat it. my girlfriends aunt had some vitamin pills or something, that consist of fish oil. should we continue using them?
Avatar f tn My hamster who is 3 years old is acting weird. And I think she is showing signs of wet tail please help. One weird thing is that she will sleep upstairs and her bedding is downstairs! I have tried placing her near her bedding but it only worked once. Would the kindest thing to do be to have her put to sleep? She has not been drinking but has been drinking please help. ASAP!
Avatar f tn Do any of your teeth hurt? Sounds like you have an infection or abscess. If an abscess in the teeth goes unattended the infection will spread into the jaw and cause a lump. You need to get checked out ASAP!! If left untreated, the infection will spread into your blood stream.
Avatar m tn 3 days ago I competed in a bicycle race (not sure if this is connected to my situation) and a few hours after the event I noticed a small lump on my buttocks quite close to my anus. It was soar to the touch but otherwise no bother. The next morning when I woke up it doubled in sized. By the afternoon it grew to about 2 inches in length and 1 inch wide. It is firm to the touch and seems to be located a little bit under my skin but not so deep that I can not feel it well.
Avatar f tn ve picked up cycling about 40-50 miles per week along with strenuous training and noticed a solo abscess on my labia after a cycle session where I had tight fitting underwear. I popped the abscess and some white fluid came out, and it's still raised but steadily getting smaller with neosporin application. I have never had sex and the last time oral happened was late 2013.
Avatar n tn I have a bum on my gum on the left side of my face behind the last tooth. Some people are saying it might be a caker sore or an abscess. The bump became bigger and I noticed a white substance inside of the bump. It grew bigger than with the help of hot water and salt it began to drain. First question what is this on my gum? How long does it take to heal? and Should I go to the dentist after it fully heals?
Avatar f tn My child has an abscess on her left lower ear area, I kept on asking her if she ever feel any pain on that area but she said never and she's not even affected by it. But I am worried cause I always touched it and even massaged it with VCO. Please help, let me know what will it cause to her health....
