testicular cancer

Question
I have a 1.5 year old Roborovski Hamster named Skittles and I think he may have testicular cancer. One of his testicles are very swollen. Besides castration is there anything I can do? No one in my town will neuter him because he is so small.

Answer
Hi Cher,

it is not really possible to neuter a hamster because they are so small, especially the Roborovski!!

I dont think many vets will even do other operations on hamsters because they would probably not come back round.

Are you sure there is definately somethign wrong with him? - Adult Males do usually look swollen in that area - especially if there are female hamsters around.

Kind Regards,

Tammy
