Hi. My name is Vicky & I just joined the site, hoping for support. Since the end of last year, my Russian Dwarf hamster Charlie has had a lump. It went down but came back up and looks angry. So today I forced myself to the vets and me & my fiance sat waiting. We walked and I prayed it was nothing, she tried to check if it was a absess...But found no puss. she is now saying my baby has a tumor, and I am trying to find somewhere to prove her wrong. The vet is not very good & her work partner a couple of years ago told me my old hamster had exma when it turned out to just be his legs rubbing on his wheel... I feel numb and I wanna cry but..I feel too bad and guilty for keeping hi malive, he doesn't seem to be in pain... HELP Plz reply Thanks Vicky.

I'm sorry to hear that your hamster isn't well I would second what Annestaff says, and get a second opinion. Many vets deal mainly with dogs and cats etc and don't necessarily know alot about hamsters, so it would be worth trying to find a vet with relevant experience with more 'exotic' pets. Did the vet suggest any treatment? I wish you and Charlie all the best XX ____________ Georgia, Honey Bear, Rosie, Obi, Timber, Mia, Oscar and Mango XXXX Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 9:49 pm oracle Packleader Joined: Aug 22, 2006 Posts: 434 Age: 27 No.Of Pets: 3 Pet Types: dog/cat/fish Karma: 2 Thank Location: northampton Medals: None 1563 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: hi welcome to petchat sorry to hear about your little baby Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 11:19 am littlelab Moderator Joined: Jan 07, 2006 Posts: 2490 Age: 36 No.Of Pets: 5 Pet Types: 2 Dogslets and 3 Kittys Karma: 22 Thank Location: Essex Medals: None 13043 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Sorry hear about your Hammy, as has been suggested change your vet and get a second opinion ____________ Natalie and Co xxx Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 2:41 pm Groovyvickster Newbie Joined: Apr 09, 2008 Posts: 3 Age: 17 No.Of Pets: 2 Pet Types: Dog & Hamster Karma: 0 Thank Medals: None 43 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Thank you all so much. My mother spoke to her friend (a animal lover - extreme - ) She was shocked to hear that they ripped the scab off and caused him a lot of pain. She spoke of another vet who she said was excellent. So she is taking us down there on Tuesday after college because I wanna be there for him. Yesterday I fussed him like there was no tomorrow and took photos of his royal cuteness hehe. When I get home I could download them on here so you can all see why I fell in love with him. I'll hopefully upload the picture of my 8 year old jack russell too as she is a real poser! Thanks again. For some reason, I do not feel so alone - Silly eh?

We would love to see some pics of your pets I hope the news is good on tuesday!
