Hello,

Im sorry your hammy is in a poorly way.

The vet doesn't sound useless at all, baytril is a broad spectrum antibiotic and the first port of call for most respiratory infections. It sounds like your hammy may have pneumonia which is more serious, did your vet listen for any fluid on her chest? Loxicom is also a pain killer so both that and the baytril are what I would expect.

Thyme tea is really pretty useless but unfortunately has spread around the internet as a bit of a fad (dangerously in my opionion as many owners put off going to the vet and give the tea, glad to hear you got her to the vet asap!)

They have such delicate systems that it can go either way but you have acted quickly and you just need to watch her carefully and go back to your vet if she worsens. It may be worth giving her some soft foods (which will make meds easier to give). You said she is skinny, she may have been ill for a while then, some egg and high protein soft foods would be beneficial,

Keep us updated
