Thanks for the advice.

To be honest I didn't realise it could be such a wide range of things that could be causing it.

I assumed she had just caught it on something in the cage and my main worry was it getting infected but I think the best approach is taking her to the vet tomorrow and getting a professional opinion as you say.

To be honest we have been concerned about 'Autumn's' health from the word go as her sister 'Summer' died from what appeared to be a tumour on the back of her head after only 2 weeks of having her - we then realised that our hammies had probably been hybrids.

I am going to phone up the local vets in the area to get a feel for which one will be best to use from an economic and a quality of care perspective.

There is a very local vet which specifically mentions hamsters on their sign outside the window which is probably a good place to start.

Will let you know how she gets on.
