If you see any of these signs, it's important to take your hamster to see a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment. The veterinarian may recommend surgery to remove the tumor or other treatments depending on the type and location of the tumor. Early detection and treatment of tumors can significantly improve your hamster's prognosis and overall health.
