Robin posing.

Such a shame about her fur! She also went back in her playpen for the first time in three weeks. She was so excited,and went back with full pouches
 
Lovely photos :-) She looks happy and is healing well :-)
 
Thanks Maz ,I am very happy with her scar,so I wasn't scared to let her back in to her playpen dig boxes . She really enjoyed herself and has done sooo well
 
Update on my little one,I haven't seen her out of the cage for her last couple of days,but when giving her treats in the early hours yesterday morning ,she did not have a lump on her leg. Fast forward to this morning,she got up at stupid o clock,and we did a thorough check over . Only to find a hard lump on her leg,that couldn't be missed. So poor little baby has to go back to the vets,hopefully Monday.
 
I'm sorry to hear that. Whereabouts is the lump and how big is it? A leg seems an unusual place for a lump so was just wondering if she could have injured it possibly rather than anything more unusual - if that makes sense.
 
I am sorry to hear you are dealing with a health concern again with lovely Robin 😔. I wonder if the vet could have injected her on her leg or used a leg vein for an IV line (if that's possible in hamsters). I hope it's not dangerous. Wishing you strength 🙏
 
They can't do IV lines on hamsters :-) The vast majority of vets can't even find a blood vessel - the blood vessels are so tiny. It's possible it might have been an injection site, depending on which part of the leg it is.

Hopefully it's nothing serious - fingers crossed. Or at least not something that will bother her.

Thanks Maz,it's on her thigh,if you were looking at her undeeneath,it's where her right leg,the skinny bit,meets her fleshier thigh it is quite prominent ,but doesn't seem to bother her. But will Def get her checked

Thankyou,I just feel so sorry for her,she has done so well through all of this. And she comes out today for cuddles and I find this. She is so cuddly too,bruxing and everything,my little darling.
 
I wonder if it's a swollen joint? If hamsters have knees!

That's what I am really hoping it is. I did think about that ,but literally everything is a worry at the mo,as the other side is fine. I do describe hamsters as being in little straight jackets of fur ,with only their hands and feet showing lol
 
Hope all is ok- what a worry for you. Xx
