My Hamster Has a Lump on Its Neck – What Could It Be?
A neck lump may be swollen lymph nodes, an allergic reaction to external parasites, or a post-injury cyst. Have a vet examine it to decide medication or surgery. Also, too much high-calorie food causes internal heat and neck lumps - avoid overfeeding calories.
A female seal-point ragdoll; recently one eye keeps producing a lot of discharge. Eye drops helped a little but it relapsed quickly.
No infection is seen, so the discharge is likely from internal heat or irritants. Switch a greasy or high-calorie diet to lighter food and add water-rich fruits and vegetables. For irritant-caused discharge, remove the foreign object promptly.
