3320. A 6-month-old dwarf hamster has an everted cheek pouch

Surgical excision is the best option. If you delay surgery, the pouch becomes traumatised by the hamster's paw scratching and pulling. It becomes badly infected and smelly. The hamster stops eating, becomes dehydrated and passes away.

Sometimes, your vet may not want to perform anaesthesia and surgery on the dwarf hamster.
Pl phone us +65 254-3326 for appointment to do the surgery.
