Why is my hamster wobbling with a large ear lump and squinting?

Question

My hamster has a lump the size of his ear on his ear and i'm really worried. He had a smaller lump on his ear a few weeks ago, but he didn't seem bothered by it. After a bit i checked on him and it had fallen off and appeared to be healing, so I was relieved and I thought he would be okay. Unfortunately, today I saw him struggling to walk around, wobbling, and his eye was squinting because of this massive thing on his poor ear! He's eating but he keeps scratching his ear and shaking :( help. Pet's info: Small Animal | Hamster | Male | unneutered

Thanks for reaching out about Bean. The concern would be the mass on the ear was a scab over a cancerous mass. The scab fell off and appeared improved. Now has increased in size. A veterinary visit is recommended to inspect the ear and investing the difficulty walking. Good luck.
