My hamster Indy is about a year and a half now, today I have spotted a lump in her chest, it feels firm to the touch. She is eating and still very active, her eyes are bright and the lump doesnt seem to be bothering her.
I am thinking it may be a tumour. I have read that hamsters can be prone to tumours and most are benign and can be removed by surgery. Now i love her dearly and will gert her to the vets tomorrow morning but would it be fair to put such a small creature through surgery?

fingers crossed for you
trouble is putting small animals under can be dangerous
but if it cant be helped sure will be ok
vets know the smaller the animal is more carefull they are.

sorry to hear that,.........

Sorry to hear about your hamster, we know how you feel, we lost our lovely Syrian hamster called Trouble on17th December with a testicular tumour.
We have lost a number of animals this year and they have all been very hard to take.
My daughter (11) wrote a poem about Trouble, which is pretty hard to read, but I think may be worth a look as it has some elements from which you can get some strength.

Trouble

Kind regards
