Matted hair on left hip	Exudate pressed out. The associate vet made a small incision to lance the abscess
More exudate could be pressed out
More exudate was pressed out by me. This meant that the bacterial infection had spread much further under the skin

Update:
A bigger skin incision was done by me to drain the brownish exudate. No further complaint from the couple 2 days after surgery.

July 17, 2012. An unusual case. Hamster recovered fully. Owner from Bukit Batok refers her aunty's roboroskvi to Toa Payoh Vets. Successful outcome generates referrals, much better than advertisements.

I could not save the aunty's hamster as it had a large bleeding inguinal growth and was very weak and still, unlike the normal rocket-like lifestyle of a roboroskvi. It was immobile upside down when positioned indicating that it was extremely ill. This inguinal growth was probably malignant and had infiltrated inside the body causing internal bleeding as well as an external bleeding.
