A dwarf hamster has a very bad skin infection in the lower body for over 2 months.

This is called cellulitis. He has abscessed lumps in his ear, neck and side of the body. He is very angry as he has very painful..

The hamster is in-patient for treatment and washing. The lower body skin should be back to normal after treatment for around 7 days. The lumps will be removed and the abscesses lanced and drained. Clipping bald will be done under gas anaesthesia and the lumps removed. .
