Ibuprofen

[windkin45]

Help, I dropped an ibuprofen 200 mg on my shirt and my hamster sucked it up into her cheeks before I could grab it. What do I do?

I would suggest you put her in a box and watch carefully till you see her unpouch it then remove it immediately.
If it is a sugar coated one she may well be tempted to nibble it. If she has eaten any then contact a vet immediately as it could be toxic. Hope it comes out whole and you can get it from her quickly.

Hope you managed to get the pill and that your hamster is ok.

I'd like to let you all know that although it seems to be a total of three that she pouched, we were able to get them all away from her when she unpouched them. *phew*
