i have lost 2 long haired hammies to cushings, is cushing seen more in long haired hammies? or is it just coincidence? also pip was a suspected tumor but she had a swollen abdomain with infection that wouldn't clear up, vet said tumor but reading this thread i am thinking could it have been pyometra? what are the symptoms? will have to read up on this now, i had no idea.
