Bless Snickers for being so brave, and sharing the photos.

Chaucer has been diagnosed with this by our vet last night. To be honest, I saw this post but thought "it can't be that" because she was losing only a little amount of fur and had other symptoms.
The vet thinks that Chaucer has Cushings along with perhaps another illness, thus has given painkillers for her.

Thanks to this post, I am more aware of the signs and will be aware of what is happening and why. I will also try some treatments, as I don't want her skin to get sore.

However, I'm not sure if it will get to that stage (as your post shows your hamster had Cushings for months) as the vet doesn't think Chaucer has very long left )=

Poor hammies, I feel guilt ridden that she is unwell.
