It makes me wonder also how the first vet didn't realise it was more serious, as she was an exotics specialist. She gave him a clean bill of health after the antibiotics. I had a similar experience before with my first hamster, gorgeous little Fluffy, where the local vet thought he was fine and then he died of kidney failure around a week later. Just wondering if this is normal? Is it really hard even for specialist vets to know what is wrong with our little buddies? Or do they prefer not to tell us the truth so we can enjoy our last days/weeks/months together?
