No More Lumps!

5th November 2009

This past Monday, Baby Hamster went for a second vet visit to have his sutures taken out (from the removal of the ‘mobile’ cysts found under his neck) & to have another surgery (the removal of his skin below his left ear that houses the smaller cysts).

BH sutures

The sutures & where the large cyst was (under BH’s neck)

As the vet was examining the smaller cysts he was about to operate on, they have actually subsided to the point that the vet decided surgery was no longer needed :-D I think it must have been the 7-day dosage of Baytril that really helped the smaller cysts to go down. Now he’s been given some kind of steroid gel to be applied on twice a day, for a week.

Yay for a successful recovery!

    Hurray for BB Hamster. Hope he gets well soon. Can Baytril really subside cyst?

    I’m bringing Spritez to the vet later. Now she’s in the carry-case in the office with me. Haha.

    Well in BH’s case, baytril really helped fight off the infections that caused the cysts to flare up every now & then.
