I paid £100 in total for Baytril, ultrasound and surgery and I thought that was expensive. Is it possible to register with another vet Ems even if it means travelling a bit? not that I am sure you grudge the money but you do have a family and Christmas is coming so I appreciate it must be difficult to juggle all these demands on your finances.

i am with the pdsa but i know for a fact they wont operate or anything.

i dont mind paying £70 for the operation and my vet is very experienced in hamsters. but an xray for £70 is expensive and i cant do both.

How is the little one doing ems? Any sign of improvement. A scan would be quite quick and maybe you could get them to do the whole thing for £70. I would say that would seem reasonable. I hope she doesn't need it though and is feeling better

Daisy has perked up a bit but is still really skinny.Giving her plenty of protein and vegatables. Here are a couple of pictures of her. I took them last night-in the first one you can see her back bone sticking out-in the second she doesnt look too bad but she still isnt drinking and Im having to do it by syringe.

I dont want to lose her

I am glad to here things are looking up. She does not look too skinny and appears to be going about her business in a hammy way. She may not need too much fluid as she will be getting quite a bit from her fruit and veg and they dont drink a huge amount. Can you tempt her with dilute apple juice or milky porridge?

My vet suggested pineapple juice? she is getting milky porridge

**babyboos** · 11-10-2005, 03:03 PM

I would go with apple as pineapple can be quite bitter
