Glad the vet has helped with making a decision. It's a chance for her and she's not happy at the moment. I reached that point with our robo - thinking I'd have the surgery as his quality of life was being affected, but by then my vet said she wouldn't operate because he had developed other skin lumps. I hope they will be giving Metacam post op as they definitely need it then. I think I would still say I wanted to try metacam. Hamsters can hide pain quite well.

For example our robo didn't chew on his lump for months but I could see him wince when it rubbed over anything hard (ie trying to climb into his wheel - the hard edge).
