29 Oct 2018. An early detection means a shorter, safer removal by Dr Daniel Sing of Toa Payoh Vets. Video shows the anaesthesized dwarf hamster soon after tumour removal. He woke up one hour later and went home to a happy owner. Zoletil is a very effective anaesthesia in hamsters provided the dosage is correct. 

The owner decided on the option of tumour removal rather than wait and see. Tumours tend to grow bigger over time and will not disappear.
