Default Re: My hammy has a tumour.

Sarahhh, are you finding it ok giving her the medication? Hammies can be very reluctant to take their medicine by syringe and it can be stressful to them.

If you have any trouble, it is worth mixing the medication into a tiny amount of baby food, the kind you get in jars or pouches at the supermarket. A jar will go a very long way and doesn't cost much. They tend to love baby food and it masks the sometimes bitter taste.

If you do use this, get something like a beef and veggie or sweet potato baby food. You want to avoid anything with tomato in it, anything with citrus in it and anything that is high in sugar.

There is a thread on this forum where the topic of baby food for hammies is discussed.

Best of luck and once again, I'm SO glad she was ok.
