jamesmark Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Went out with Sarah today and she fell in love with a Hamster, the look on her face I bought it straight away for her. After getting it home we noticed a lump and it is a bit big between it's shoulder and ear, we never saw it in the shop as we were looking up at the Hamster. Going to keep a close eye on it cause if I take it back all the shop will do is ring it's neck. Anyone had them with similar lump? It is larger than a petit pois. Cheers guys.

vvteye Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 before you worry they do store food in their cheek. He hasn't had a nut recently as he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 It is no where near is cheek, it is almost on it's back. I dunno if it has eaten as I only got it about an hour ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 How about going to the RSPCA and pointing it out?... They might try and sort the little fella out, and give you some pointers with regard to the shop, and a new one or something?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CoolsBlue Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 hmmm...rekon you could post a pic up? our little hamster died a few years back with a tumor but couldnt see it, id get him checked out asap just to make sure its not serious, if it goes down over night, nothing to worry abt, as they like to smuggle food into their small houses!

We rang them about a dog we'd taken in as a stray. Never got a phone call back or anything!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Well the lump has fell off, but it started weeping pus, so it went to the The vet took a look at it and got very pissed off very quickly, the hamster is 9 weeks old and it has had a fight (as we forst thought) however the way it has healed ie the lump it looks like the pet shop done fuck all about caring for it. also it has a few stiches and the stiches she described as being done by someone that only just knows how to do stiches, not even a first year student would do such a poor job. They were not disposible nor even proper stiches she said so it looks like the stiches were put in by someone at the pet shop. So have been sold a hamster that was in a bad way the vet gave it 10 days to live if we had not come in with it, however it has had a bath with some solution and is on antibiotics that we have to give it through a shringe, and thats a hard thing to do. Its wound looks like a raw steak. £43.17 for something that cost only a few but I am glad as every single penny of that £43.17 is worth it knowing that if it does die then it has had the best life out of that pet shop. The vet is also writing it all down, her proffessional opinion and I am going up with reciept and all to make some noise at the pet shop and get my money back and also advise that failure to do so will make me hand the letter to relavent bodies. If I do get a refund I am STILL reporting them to the RSPCA and anyother bodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvteye Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I went to the vet as I had a frogs head growing out of my temple. The vet asked how did this all start and the frog said with a wart on my arse Hope hammy gets well soon. Get him a wheel and he'll soon improve they do like to run some miles. BTW.. Good on you mate for going to the vet. I know a few who would have just given him to the cat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
