Hi I'm new and hamster is unwell

[jadeo]

hi

I'm jade and my hamster is called hampy.
she is about 18 months old or more and has started getting lumps which develop black scabs on them. she has lost lots of fur. there's maybe 10 or more and ranging in size. some have scabs but there's a few without. the biggest scab is 10mm by 10mm roughly so is pre huge some are abit smaller. she seems itchy.
I have been to the vets every week now for 6 weeks 6months ago she was given mite and flea killer drops. she's had antibiotics and they keep getting worse /more of them
please if you have heard of this please let me know.

Hi there
It sounds very much as if your little one has Cushing's disease. This is not curable sadly and the scabs develop in the later stages. I'm surprised your vet has not been able to diagnose this and I would suggest this to them. You can read a bit more about it here:
Cushings Disease in Syrian Hamsters - Hamster Central WIKI

Sorry this is not good news but welcome to HC and I hope you can keep Hampty comfy for a bit longer x

hi im sorry for the quick replies I was just testing it really.
thank you all for neing so caring and giving you
r time to help us.
I taken her the vets the day I felt the first lump, she hadnt even lost any fur.
the first lumps seem to maybe be getting better.as the scabe have fallen off and are now red healing sore marks.
does that still sound like what you think she has.

im putting johnsons small pets tea tree cream on them it is designed for hamsters even though tea tree can be dangerous for them, but id imagine it has to be more concentrated than this cream.Maybe thats why she has supple rather than dry skin around the scabs
thanks again
jade
