How can I know if my hamster is in pain?
My hammy Pepper is 17 months old. She broke her leg recently, and I took her to a vet. The vet said he can't do anything to her leg, and surgery can kill her. So he gave us some calcium drops, and said she should rest more and move less, so the broken leg will heal itself.
My little girl acts somehow normal, she eats and drinks well, gets out of her nest to play and even climbs up her small nest.
The only matter is when I try to pet her, or when I catch her in my hand to give her medication, she acts so aggressive and bites me (not too hard).
I don't know if she's in a lot of pain or not... Because the vet said she's probably not because lf her leg's condition, and he didn't prescribed any pain killers.
I don't know how to help my little hammy if she's in pain because where I live, there are not good vets or someone who has worked with hamsters...
