Some vets will prescribe it to be given in the hamster's water and ideally you'll want to avoid this if you can and ask for the dosage to enable you to give the liquid as it is instead. That way you can always syringe it directly into your hamsters mouth, if your hamster is tolerant enough or you can add it to a small amount of baby food, homemade chicken broth or something similar that you know your hamster enjoys.
Hope your vet visit goes well.

From my past experience My vet only gives meds that are directly given with a little syringe so I hafta convince him to eat it. I can’t mix it into anything because the vet was concerned about some of the dose being lost.
