Re: Uterus tumor
Sometimes a tumour can be removed successfully if it is fully confined to the womb and has not spread elsewhere. This is done by spaying the hamster however that op is quite risky in itself especially if the hamster is already a bit run down. Bleeding tumours can also result in infection setting in. Antibiotics can give some remission. If you decide to to operate then keeping her comfortable and being very aware that you may have to give rest when she is no longer able to live a happy hamster life is probably the best way forward. It is hard to say how long she may live. It depends on when and how the tumour affects her system enough to cause distress. I would say on average they would like maybe 3-4 weeks once the bleeding starts.
