I can&amp;#39;t feel anything on examination. Would the next step be ultrasound? I&amp;#39;m not sure how effective that would be in my hands!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Vaginal bleeding in a hamster</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/228985?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Mar 2021 22:25:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:ceb4a211-cf9a-4772-9cae-07967ec790e2</guid><dc:creator>Mark Rowland</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hamsters have a season every 4 days so there should be a mucopurulent discharge at this interval.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bleeding is not normal so I would be looking for some uterine or ovarian pathology here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can you palpate anything or do any diagnostics?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
