Do you have the pleasure of owning a small mammal such as a hamster, rabbit, mouse or gerbil? These little balls of fluff can be super rewarding to care for. 🐹🐰🐭🐁
With these little pets, it’s important to add a monthly health check to your routine to spot any lumps or bumps early on.
Unfortunately, small mammals are more likely to develop mammary tumours, which are often cancerous. By checking your pet regularly, you can:
✔️ Keep a check on your pet's general health condition
✔️ Get them used to being handled
✔️ Identify mammary tumours or lumps quicker
✔️ Seek veterinary assistance if worried
There may be treatment options for mammary tumours, and it’s always best to seek veterinary attention as soon as possible. Early detection means better chances of successful treatment and recovery!
If you’re worried about your furry friend, book an appointment with one of our vets.
