Re: Very ill hamster
I looked at both open and closed and a little into the variations therein. We will try with the antibiotics because it is the only option available. There just isn't a vet in Sweden that will perform the operation at her age, we have looked just to be sure we have done our due diligence. I hope that she ends up in that small percentage that recovers or that it is another condition that can be treated with antibiotics and won't return. If we think she is just in pain I can't see dragging out her suffering and that is why they don't do the operation on older hamsters here because it is seen as cruelly drawing out the suffering of the animal. As much as I hate to think of her death I feel so sure that she knows how much we love her and that we have given her the best life we could.
