Hi! We bought a dwarf hamster about a month ago. At the time he had a small bald spot on his back just a bit smaller than a dime.

foot sores
Posted on 2008/09/15 by CathySara has sores on her paws. The front 2 are spots with dark skin. The back 2 are now red and inflammed. She licks them. After she started with these irritations she also got an ear infection. Could this be an allergy or a yeast infection?

Serious Infection
Posted on 2007/12/06 by KatiWe have recently moved house, my cat Tum went missing for 3 weeks, we fortunately found him, however he had a slight cut to his face. Since then this has become hugely infected, and the infection has spread to lesions across his entire body. He has had the abcess on his face operated on three times in the last 4 weeks by the vet and been prescribed a range of antibiotics to try and combat the infection. His body condition has hugely deteriated and has been with te vet on a drip for the last 48 hours. he has been tested for leuakemia and feline diseases, but to no avail. Are there any other options available to us or any other possible diagnosies. If you require any...
