Syrian Hamster and eye problem

Question
My syrian Hamster Has a Little bump on her eye, what could this be? should i take her to the vet immediately?

Answer
Hi James,

     
       It could be a cyst, which will generally pop open by it's self, crust over, then go away or she may have bumped it. If there is no signs of infection (reddness,pus or any bleeding) then I would just keep a close eye on it for now. But if any signs of infection appear then I would suggest taking her to the vet.
