A dwarf hamster has a large skin tumour.

This is a typical case of an older hamster with a large skin tumour.

Owners are advised to get the tumour excised by the vet earlier as the hamster will bite and lick the growing tumour, making it ulcerated, infected and painful. The same applies to the dog seen in this video.
