I think your comment about vets not knowing enough is spot on and is a complaint in all sorts of areas with many members. Finding a good vet is like finding a good doctor maybe. And many aren't trained much in hamster specifics which is why an exotic vet is better with hamster related things. Sadly there are vets who don't even bother to think much about hamsters or their treatment and take the view that if they're over a certain age and unwell think about putting them out of their misery. Which doesn't account for the bond and trust. But thankfully there are also good caring vets.
