QuestionAfter I put my hamster in a ball I noticed big bump. I do not think it was there before, I always check under her stomach. What can it be? Do I need to bring her to a vet or will she be ok.
Thank You,

AnswerHi,
Your hamster may have an abscess or a tumor. If you can see a bite or scratch wound on the lump, then it's an abscess. Abscesses can burst and become infected, so it's important that you take your hamster to a vet.
And, if it's a tumor, it may be able to be operated on.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
