She have skin infection i think...
Keep losing hair

hmm.. not necessarily. hair loss in animals is a general sign of health problems. In fact, the fur condition is kinda a sign of the overall health too. Eenie (the hamster that went through surgery) had pretty bad fur when the tumor (which was also infected. refer to my previous posts in this thread for further details) was at its worse before the surgery, her fur was very very thin, and matted.

The day after the surgery, her fur was back to being smooth again, but still thin, and its slowly growing back thicker. Kinda a sign of recovery here as well (along with the appetite coming back too).

Thus, it can be something else that's the problem actually, where the fur loss is one of the signs.

According to my vets, she is fine with no other symptom except for a small tumor on ears which can be treat easily with iodin
It's either infection or it's mites but she cant conclude yet because she can't take a skin sample to test cause hamster are too small
At the end she gave her some jab to help treat the infection and see if it improvise or not
I suppose to get her for the 2nd dose today but she passed away, oh well...

Cheer up.. Dont be sad, im sure she is happy now to have a great owner in her life..

oh my god..
what a tragic..
may she rest in peace.



huhu.

my baby yuki is eating well and all but i have no idea why she seems to be getting thinner and thinner. its scary. she is now undergoing treatment for her urinary tract infection. but doc and i dont think thats the reason for her weight loss as the last time when she had urinary tract infection, she still l ook chubby as compared to now.

and another thing..she wont change back to her normal coat. she's in winter coat since november last year!! and now she keeps on lying on top of cooling places to chill herself...im kind aworried taht she might get a heat stroke or smtg over cny. uggghhh~~~

Last time my Button is losing weight also, my vets gave me a can of nutrition food and asked me to feed it twice a day for 2week and she regain her weight in no time
Perhaps u can ask ur vets for it

Seriously dude, did u read the 1st page or done any research?
What kind of bedding u are using? U feeding them with bread??? And what brand of staple food u use? I see a lot of unhealthy kauci in ur pic
No offence really, but pity ur hamster...

Breeder celect O_O
It looks like some kind of sand in my monitor display
Anw, take out the clothes, use tissue instead, it's safer
Bout the bread, im not sure if i mixed up with other pets but i once read someone expert saying it will expand in their stomach when contacted with water or something, causing impaction (Not very sure bout it)
Did some quick google just now but seems like it's safe for hamster

oh my god ..im not that cruel and naive.
i thought using clothes are safer..i read it on USA website..dont really remember..hmm..

I've seen ppl using sand as bedding so it wont surprise me
About the clothes, in case the hamster ingested it, tissue can be dissolve and digested easily without problem, so it's safer and waaay cheaper to use it compare to clothes

oh god..
does the hamster okay with the sand bedding?
looks like i am waay to rich to give them clothes but i cant give them vitacraft.. =(

so..when can i seperate the pups?3rd week?4th?

get Prestige or Vitakraft..

eh guys.. lots of you guys say give eggs to the mother...but...i confused..fully boiled egg or half boiled egg?

ok. will check them out. thanks.

Anybody know how much is the Big Tank cost? My hamster bite the cage until his mouth injured and now the cage all the paint came off.. So i have to take him out..

Now put him at a small container which i pity him so much.. Anyone willing to give away any Unused Plastic Tank, let me know.. Dont want to waste money buying another hamster cage for him..

Snoopie, if u can drop by metro prima after 9pm i can sell u my 1.5feet guppy tank, u offer me price

Atok, i give hard boil egg or scramble eggs (Without oil of cause)
