My hamster has a movable lump and loose stool after amoxicillin.

Question

I know a hamster lives a short life but he just developed a lump near his pouch and it's movable. It doesn't seem to hurt him when I move it. He is eating fine. My daughter on accident gave him 0.05ml of liquid amoxicillin and now he has loose stool. But he is eating. Pet's info: Small Animal | Hamster | Male | unneutered

Thanks for reaching out about Norman. A mass could be an abscess or tumor and should be investigated by a veterinarian. Age is not an reason not the see a veterinarian. As per the amoxicillin, it is potentially toxic, and another reason to see a vet. Abnormal bacterial can overgrow causing diarrhea. Preventing dehydration is important, but also allowing bacteria to re-colonize the intestinal tract. Good luck.
