Hi to all hamster lover here,

I brought my hamster to Animal Medical Centre (Jln Tun Razak) to check on a lump growth on my hamster's lower lips. The doctor did mentioned something like 'pus'. He said the causes for the lump is most probably because of infection due to scratches or bite (by other hamster. For your info, i got 2 hamsters living together).
The hamster needs to do operation. The operation cost is approximately RM250.
Is it consider reasonable or expensive? Does anybody have any other recommended places for this kind of operation. The operation will be done in the morning. Then later in the evening can bring back the hamster.
So, the hamster is not required to stay overnight.

Anybody have any comment?

Thanks a lot for the comment odd_mochi,
Yea, i think my hamster's condition is quite similar to your fren's hamster.
The vet also said that my hamster will be put under anaesthesia, but the saddest part is that it'll cost me around RM250.

Maybe like what you said, because of different location, the prices differ.
Anyway, if there's no other places/option, then i'll have to bring my hamster there this coming Saturday morning.

Do you know what is the reason / causes for this so called "abscess"?

Lawrence93, i don't know what are the green round thingy but you should not put two male hamster in the same cage in the 1st place! There's an extremely high chance they will fight & end up wounding each other... sigh...

Thanks for the concern odd_mochi,
I've already separated them.
I've already given up searching for other vet.
Tomorrow morning i'm gonna bring her to do the operation.
I just hope she's ok until tomorrow morning.

Thanks a lot BPLee, anyway, it's a she.

Obviously the vet you visited is inexperience. I strongly recommend you to visit Animal Hospital in Jalan Genting Klang. Few months ago i brought my hamster there to do a minor surgery. Frankly speaking the vets there are very experienced. They really know how to hold a hamster gently. Furthermore the price there is reasonable.

Maybe you can try and post it in the adoption thread, who knows if there's someone who is interested to get it? correct?
