MESSAGE TO DR SING KONG YUEN VIA WHATSAPP. 12.40AM. 23 AUG 2022.
Hi doctor, sorry to disturb you at this timing, my Syrian hamster has developed a lump over his ear and we noticed that it getting worse with a foul smell today. I would like to seek your help to guide me what to do. Tq
REPLY FROM DR SING KONG YUEN VIA WHATSAPP. 4.17AM. 23 AUG 2022.
Good morning. The prominent lump inside the ear is likely an abscess which is filled with pus. The foul smell is from the infected red swelling as seen in your image. The treatment is an operation to lance the abscess and drain the pus. Anaesthesia is required. If you do not seek veterinary treatment, the abscess will enlarge. As it is painful, the Syrian hamster will continue to paw it.
In a few days, it may rupture, spilling out yellow or brown pus into the ear canal. The hamster will be soiled with pus which will be licked.
Therefore surgery to lance and drain the abscess is the only treatment. Please make appointment by phone 6254 3326 today at Toa Payoh Vets.
Owner has made an appointment for tomorrow. UPDATES WILL BE AT:
