my hamster has a lump

my hamster has a lump underneath her face on the  throat she can still eat i was wondering if anyone could tell me what it could be

[Savas]

It could be a tooth issue (infection from abscess.damaged tooth). Have you checked her teeth?
It could also be a swollen/ infected gland. Yes, it could be a tumour, but hopefully not. Could you give me a little more information? What type of hamster you're got? What the lump feels like? Is it hard, soft? How long has it been there and how quickly did it form? Is this a solitary hamster or does it have buddies that may have done her an injury (leading to an infection).

hey, i have got a Russian dwarf hamster her lump feels soft it has formed in about 3 days not sure, she doesn't seem to bite properly and she lives alone.


thanks for your help so far

it is probably an absess (abscess) and the teeth need to be checked. My rabbit had one and it was her teeth .  The vets  thought tumor  but it was a absess (abscess) have them do a biopsy it would have been found sooner.
