Hi, my female winter white hamster is almost 2 and a half years old has a very large tumor on/in her ear. She still eats and walks around but is unbalanced and has stopped using her sand bath and mostly stays in one section of her cage. She occasionally bites the bars of her cage when she never used to. She has been drinking and urinating more frequently than usual. She has been on an anti inflammatory/ painkiller for about a month and a half. Her eye by the infected ear is partially shut now and the tumor smells quite bad and there is also usually a little but of pus coming out of it. Im wondering if she’s in pain and it’s time to euthanise her? I love her so much and I want her to be happy so if she’s in pain I don’t want her to suffer.
