Winter Russian White's - My friend needs your help?

Question

Hi, my friend Shaz has a 2 year old winter white she's a female and she's called Zizzi. Recently my friends brother who is 6 dropped the hamster (not from a great height) on the carpet. So my friend took her to the vet who said shes fine. A few days later she developed a small lump on her right hand side. The lump 2 days was massive and has moved to the hammys chest. Zizzi has started to pluck her fur away from her stomach & chest. She doesn't seem to be in any pain, and is walking about normally. But my friend is wondering what the lump is any ideas are welcome thanks.

Ps: Zizzis booked in to the vets 1 week from today.

Answer 1

tell your friend to take her hamster back to the vet as soon as possible, it could be a cancerous tumour, or if not, it could be a cyst filled with pus that could gte infected and kill zizzi!

Answer 2

Hmm...I don't think a tumor would grow that fast.  It could be a cyst or infection of some kind.  I would suggest, if it has gotten that big this fast, that your friend get her to the vet as soon as possible.  

Answer 3

The lump is probably uncomfortable. That's probably why she's plucked all her fur away.

Answer 4

Ok well you need to take zizzi to the vet, lumps can normally make the hamster feel like it needs to get rid of all there fur
