FINAL VIDEO. The dwarf hamster keeps scratching two ears to get rid of the multiple ear warts.

Ear warts are very irritating to the dwarf hamster as they feel heavy and get inflamed and infected. In this case, the hamster has ear warts  deep inside both ear canals. 

As the ear warts are deep inside the vertical ear canals, I advised opening up the lateral (side) wall) of the ear canal. This will provide access to removal of the warts and provide ventilation and drainage. 

The two lady owners are happy with the outcome as the hamsters have recovered fully, without any more ear scratching.

A very rare surgery in dwarf hamsters. The danger is the high anaesthetic risk as the hamster is very small in size. The vet needs to be very alert and careful not to kill the hamster with anaesthetic as owners will not be happy with this death outcome.
