My robo, Holly, is sick. I took her to the vet this afternoon. The vet found blood around her anus, and thinks she has a stomach upset. She has been given Baytril to put in her water bottle, and Metacam for any pain she may have. For a 15-month-old hamster I have not actually held until today (she moves like lightning, and I could probably only get hold of her today because she is under the weather) feeding her Metacam presents difficulties.

I understand you can mix it with babyfood, but as our "babies" are now in their 30s, I have no idea what to buy, or whether I can mix it with anything else. The vet recommends softer foods while she gets back to normal. Could anyone please advise?
