This dwarf hamster has loud sniffling sounds, getting louder and louder. Her head has become "more like a cobra" as her cheek pouches are much impacted, like her mother. Her mother had obsessively stored lots of seeds inside the pouch. Her mother's two cheek pouches had been excised to resolve the problem of itchy cheek pouch skin and scratching.

Cheek pouches were emptied and medication is given for upper respiratory tract infection
