How to treat a flesh-like lump in a hamster’s ear
Expert Answer
A flesh-like lump growing in a hamster’s ear may be caused by foreign-tissue overgrowth, a tumor, infection, or other conditions. First, the pink flesh ball growing inside the hamster’s ear may be a polyp; in this case you can take the hamster to a veterinary clinic to remove the polyp and disinfect the wound.
Second, the small flesh ball in the hamster’s ear may also be caused by a bacterial infection leading to an abscess; in this case you need to apply anti-inflammatory medication to the affected area to clear the infection. In addition, the lump in the hamster’s ear may also be a tumor, and this situation requires taking it to a veterinary clinic to examine the nature of the tumor and adopt appropriate treatment based on it.
