[PinkDelilah]

When I took my hamster Delilah out today from her cage I found a decently sized patch of hair GONE from around her cheek area.

I had seen what looked like a really small patch about 2 days ago (same area) but didn't think much about it as I thought it was just her hair blown in a funny way (she has a naturally thin coat)

Anyway it has a scab in the middle of the round patch (and I mean ROUND it is almost a perfect oval) Does anyone think this could be ringworm? any other ideas? can a hamster loose hair just from hurting themselves because obviously there is a scab.

please any responses! my last hammy had Cushings Decease so I'm really freaking out

Could it just be from where she's had her pouches full and they have been rubbing whilst she's been running on her wheel?

(This has happened to one of my hammies before)

I figured out it was a cut she will be fine though hopefully and I put her in a isolation cage.
