You had some really bad experiences with vets so its not surprising that you are a little apprehensive. I would be as well.

I'd email the vet including recent photos but i doubt that they would prescribe without a consultation. I've tried that before but had to bring my hamster in.

You could probably buy metacam/loxicom off the internet but would need to work out the correct dosage depending on the strength as there's a cat and a dog one and the weight of your hamster. Not something i'd do personally.
