Hi,

My current hamster Yuuko is coming up to around 7 months old now, she's been great but I noticed recently there is a slightly dark patch on her chin. It's very much blink-and-you'll-miss it because she refuses to stay still more than half a second, which also means it's impossible to get a picture, but I can't tell if it's just the way her fur grows on her chin or if it could be where a cut/sore is or was. It doesn't seem to be bothering her in any way and there's no sign of bleeding or redness, so is it something I should see a vet about? Or should I just monitor the situation for the next few days to see if I spot any changes?
