How Can I Tell If My Hamster Has Mange Or Just A Scab Due To A Cut?
I just bought it from a pet shop and it has a scab on the top of its nose and one on its back. It had two siblings in the pet shop cage with it. (It is too young to tell the sex) I bought it as a Christmas present for my daughter and currently having it pet sitted until then. I can't find a good picture online. Can this be spend to dogs???
Hair loss is the first sign in mange in that area. Moreover your hamster should feel irritation there. But if there is no sign like this over there then it means you should not get worried about it. But if you feel any symptom, which is unusual regarding that scab, then consult a vet before it is too late. Watch carefully if you can find mites over there which often cause mange.
