3339. A 30-month-old dwarf hamster has a large ear wart. What to do?
Jan 17, 2018
Internet query.
2.5 years old. Large wart. Sister worried. To operate or not, the lady emailed the image.
Much depends on her as the operation is less than 1 minute and gas anaethesia is very safe.
Cost? $150-$200. I asked her to email me the image.
The wart is irritating the hamster as evident by the clotted area due to scratching. Up to the owner to decide.

3338. A rare case of gangrenous swollen cheek in a Syrian hamster
A young lady WhatsApp this image to me.
Needle aspiration. No pus or fluid. It was possible a sharp seed had penetrated and infected the left cheek.
Diagnosis: A gangrenous infected swelling/tumour.
Overgrown lower incisor teeth suggested long duration of swelling
Inoperable
Hamster passed away 4 days later

3337. Craniodorsal hip luxation of a poodle
Jan 9, 2018
Craniodorsal hip luxation is usually due to trauma. In this poodle, a helper stepped on the back, dislocating the left hip. Vet 1 tried closed reduction (without surgery) but the hip dislocated again. FHO (Femoral hip osteotomy) was recommended.
BEFORE CLOSED REDUCTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------
AFTER CLOSED REDUCTION
FEMORAL HEAD OSTEOTOMY
IN THIS CASE
Blunt dissection of muscles
Expose femoral head more by using an assistant to abduct the joint
Bone cutter to cut off the femoral head
Create a false joint
Stitch up skin
-----------------------------------
