Hamster Central - View Single Post - Should you take your Ham to the vet for a check?

Sometimes pet stores give out certificates for a free vet exam when you adopt an animal from their store or from the SPCA. I chose to take my Chinese to the vet as she was older and had some fur thinning. I waited until the very last day (had 10 days) and then it turned out that she was indeed in good health but she needed a nail trimming. So in my case it was a good thing to take her to the vet.

I'd say anytime I rescue an older animal I'd take it to the vet, especially if it's free as they may have mites or other health issues.
