How to educate
hamster owners that they should get the vet to excise
the hamster's warts when they are very small? When the
warts are small, they don't bleed profusely. Big warts
command a large blood supply and as you can see in this
case, with images presented, the bleeding was a lot in
the wart excised from the hind limb.
Electro-surgery to excise
warts in a dwarf hamster.
Ensure that the electric
current flows through the
body, incising the wart and
back to the mains.
Ensure that the electricity
does not electrocute the
hamster!
Unlike
dogs and cats, it was practically not possible to ligate
the bleeder since the blood vessels were not visible.
The good news is that this hamster survived the
operation.
If you love your hamster, get her warts removed by your
vet early.
