do your vets not have out of hours services, most do and the wounds you describe sound pretty bad x

When does the vet open?

[Lil Miss]

i think vets in the states are very different to over here, most of them dont really care about anything smaller then a cat either...

having said that she really does need to see a vet, and bandaids really shouldnt be used on hamsters, did the corn starch manage to stem the bleeding?
shes also probably in a lot of pain and is going to need metacam (pain relife) and depending on the severity of the cuts it may be advisable to start her on a precautionary course of antibiotics

Vets here arent open on Sundays even emergency ones so I have to wait till Monday and the corn starch did stop the bleeding and I have hamster antibiotics at my house and my local pet store sells them

[Amethyst_ice]

if she had glass cuts they may need glued together and if you are administering antibiotic you have to weigh her and get the dosage correct :s i find it a little hard to belive that even in the states they do not have out of hours services :s

[Ham Ham Hamstery]

yeah well at least where I live because here once the vets are closed they close up shop and leave

[Lil Miss]

i would not use antibiotics a pet store sells, they will not be effective, effective antibiotics are only available by prescription even in the states

there will be a vets open somewhere, you really need to find one, you need to be prepared for when things like this happen

[Gizmodo ^_^]

Yeah you really need to get her somewhere quick :/ is there seriously not anywhere you can go!?
