Thanks Bubblesbiscuit.  But sad to say, Wally's lump got bigger, nearly a 20 cent coin big... Now a part of it bleed a bit time to time but the area is wedged btw his arm and the lump making it hard to reach. I tried my best to clean and apply the ointment n I start medicating him yesterday again. Poor guy, his movements are now encumbered by the lump which made his left paw weak. He ambles ard now n can't run properly on the wheel even sliding off it in mid run... If you are free,do take a pictures of the lump and post them here..this is really a very saddening news man. I will continue to pray for Wally.. |

I'll try to get a pic soon. quite difficult to hold him now cos I'm scared of hurting him accidently cos the lump's growing quite big now. Just now when I checked it, it has grown to the centre of his chest. U can feel a bump there, can feel his chest is kind of hard. Last time not like this one...

Now an area behind his left ear (same side as the lump) is bald and u can see the bump. Think it's the lump coming up.Think the pressure is high cos I can see the blood vessels on his chest (just beneath the skin). Dunno what to do... His left paw can't be used now so I crack his sunflower seeds now and also break bigger pieces of the hamster feed into smaller bits. |

It's worse for us, cos we see him in this state everyday...Sigh. Now he keeps on losing balance and 'overturn' and can't get off his back. Sometimes cos lose balance, sometimes cos he grooms while sitting on his bottom then accidently overturn. Then I got to turn him over lor.It's easier if he overturned in his house cos jus tilt the house and he become rite again. If outside, I got to flip him while 'fending off' his paws and take care not to hurt his side. I had to turn him back 4 times on sat! Everynite also 'tell' him not to overturn at nite or else no one knows and he'll be in tt state the whole nite.luckily he didn't during the nites. Dunno y his left paw tt can't be used looks swollen now.part of the scab tt developed ard the upper part of the paw is hanging loose but a few days have passed and it has not drop off! He also smells I think cos of the lump... |

Maybe u or ur sister shld wake up in the middle of the nite to check on him.
I can only suggest that u add more furnitures in his cage so that he has something to hold on to when he wanna overturn back.
