Two dwarf hamsters are male, 1.5 years old.
Hamster 1 is named Crumpet. He lost a lot of weight over the last few weeks. On presentation, he had a tearing right eye and previous eye infection.

Hamster 2 is named Wellington. He has a necrotic armpit skin wound from a superficial quick examination. As the hamster with the armpit wound was very aggressive when handled, I did not want to stress Wellington too much as he might die soon after. The hamster would be examined under anaesthesia and if it was a wound, it would be debrided and stitched up. Dr Daniel did the work and found that it was a disc-shaped subcutaneous tumour of 2 cm across. This was cut off and the normal skin stitched up. The length of the cut was more than 4 cm as you can see in the last video. It was badly inflamed and hence very painful and itchy, explaining why the hamster defended himself against being touched, biting his owners too..
