Hi
About a month ago I noticed my dwarf hamster has a kind of crusty scab on her back... I thought it might have been from a cut or something but after it fell off it keeps coming back... also... once the crusty stuff falls off the skin beneath it seems to be slightlty swollen and red. I've also noticed very tiny kind of scabs behind her ears... but these are much smaller than the one on her back... which is actually kind of yellow in colour... while the other ones are more like dried blood... My parents keep saying they'll take her to the vet but they STILL haven't and I'm starting to get really worried that it might be mites or something...
Sorry for the long question, please answer ASAP if you have any information that could help! Thanks!
