Hey all,
I’m the one who thought my 2 year old hamster icicle might’ve had a stroke last night, but today I’m thinking I was wrong.

Today she’s been acting normal all day, eating like normal and walking around. She is also able to pee and poop just fine as far as I can tell.

However, it seems like she’s been scratching herself a lot with her foot since yesterday and against the corners of the cage (one of them she cleared the bedding out of). She seems to be squirming around a bit while trying to sleep but is otherwise back to being her happy normal self

Now I’m wondering if maybe something could be making her itchy? Maybe a side effect of her antibiotics for her abscess

Her vet told me they weren’t even available to answer any questions about her until later and no other vets near me see hamsters, so I have to wait until they answer me. Otherwise, I’ve continued her prescribed antibiotics as normal.
