a very swollen Monster : [

[debs]

i had monster out ( was cleaning out her cage) i notice shes very swollen and hard her belly part shes been making sqeaking sounds is it her time?

[fluffymunchkins]

A swollen belly is a bad sign and I would definitley take her to the vets, it sound slike shes in pain
It could be a tumour or a womb infection, both of which their might not be much the vet can do.
All the best, I hope shes alright x

Is she an old hamster debs? It depends on what the swelling is. If it`s fluid build up in the abdomen it may just be treated with a diuretic, although a bloated abdomen can mean organ failure somewhere, normally the heart, but do see your vet as they will be able to have a feel and see how she is.

Is Monster a syrian?

[debs]

thank you i kind of thought that : [ my poor baby : '(

Debs is it an ongoing problem? Has she been to the vet before. You have probably said and i cant recall. Ekk, hope it wasnt in the original post and i have misread it. Away to check.
