This Syrian hamster has 2 large neck tumours excised around 1 week ago.  See previous video at:

There was a large wound after excision and pus oozed out. This is a complication of surgery and does occur in some instances.

The hamster was hospitalised and treated for 4 days. Now its neck wound has healed 90% and is taken home. 

Tumours under the skin are common in the older hamsters. They will never disappear with oral medication which is prescribed by some vets who do not perform hamster surgery. 
Get the tumours removed when they are less than 5 mm in diameter rather than wait and see .
