Hamster Central - View Single Post - I have to give my hamster antibiotics and I'm scared of messing it up!!

I thought I would post an update for anyone who is interested. I gave Peggy her last dose of medicine this morning and her sniffles have cleared up and it actually wasn't too bad to give it to her in the end. She still doesn't like being picked up but she didn't seem too stressed and didn't bite me. Once I was actually holding her she seemed calm. In a funny way this whole thing may end up being a good thing (apart from being £50 poorer than I was a week ago!) I used to feel really nervous about handling her, but now that I've had to do it and nothing bad happened I feel much more confident. Thank you to everyone who gave advice, I'm sure Peggy appreciates it too!
