I saw yesterday my dwarf hamster had a scab on her back.
She didn't seem so notice it, pick or scratch at the scab at all.
And was moving fine on her wheel and normal behaviour.
I phones the vet today to book and appoint and get advice.
They suggested to clean the wound with warm water once the scab come off and to keep clean and dry.
This evening I noticed the scab was gone and I did exactly as directed. And dried her thoroughly with a towel.
I removed her sand from her tank too, as I thought it might irritate the wound. Especially as she rolls heavily in there.
I've given her treats and food scattered this evening to keep her busy. She seems a bit grumpy now but no unusual movement or actions.
Any advice? Or suggestions?
My vet appointment is on Tuesday, the earliest I could get.
Best photos I could get.
