Do you not reckon normal vets know enough about hamsters?

That really depends on the vet. Some will have had a few specific courses on "pocket pets" and some will have a bit of experience and some will not have a clue. The clueless ones may not tell you they are just guessing although some of the honest ones may say. If I were you I would ring the vet and ask about their training and experience with hamsters and judge for yourself from the responses you get.
Then I would look up an exotic pet vet and ring them, ask the same questions. See for yourself what you want to do and have a plan ready before you need it. xx
