Some owners take a long time to consult the vet. The facial abscess has time to form a capsule to wall off the pus. The family vet lanced and drained the abscess two time as the facial swelling recurred.
The owner consulted Toa Payoh Vets. Under anaesthesia, Dr Daniel Sing excised the whole abscess including the capsule
TIPS FOR VETS
Some vets may not realise that an abscess can also be encapsulated. If the abscess recur, it is time to put the hamster under general anaesthesia to excise the whole abscess with capsule. Refer to a hamster vet if you do not perform such surgeries rather than lance and drain again.
