Do you know any places in LA that takes in hamsters for a check-up? A vet? It would even help more if you could tell me a vet in or near Wilshiere Street. I want my hammy to live long,healthy, and happy life.
Answers:
Look in your local directory for all the local vets in your area, and call each one to see if they employ a vet who specialises in small animals.
I live in England and i have seen on the answers page how difficult it is in some parts of America to get a vet to look at pets like hamsters.
What your doing is fanstastic. Just because hamsters have a shorter life span they should still be treated with lots of love and care. They are prone to so many illnesses that I applaud you for wanting to take it for a check up.
I do this also. It costa 拢12 here, which is about $20 to you. Our vet checks harry for any suspicious lumps and bumps, checks his heart, his legs, teeth, mouth, eyes and ears, and because he is male she checked his scent glands and for hair loss too.
I know I cant answer where your local vet is, but I wanted to let you know what a great idea it is, and strongly recommend it. We want our hammie to live to a ripe old age! He is a year old now, so we will be taking him every 6 months or so for a check up x
my vet claims he doesnt work on some animals. but he has to much of a heart and will do anything he can. just call and see. One of the best things you can do is rember that you should not use the cedar shavings. They cause cancer. This was recently discovered just a couple of years ago. Do not use one of the wire wheels for running. I heard of hamsters getting there legs caught between the wires and breaking it. use the plastic wheel. Or the ball works really great. take the hamster out and put in the ball and watch it roll all over the floor. good luck with your hamster.
