Tips for vet trips/carriers

[BuddyBearHam]

Im thinking my hybrid dwarf hamster, Chester has an infection.
Im getting him into the vet as soon as I can.
Any tips for taking him there?
How should I set up the carrier?
How am I supposed to wake him up for the appointment?
Any tips for giving him medicine? This was somewhat difficult with my passed hamster who was more tame than Chester and I’m expecting he will need antibiotics/possibly some painkillers.


Its been a while and I’m nervous because my passed hamster had to be euthanized and I don’t want that to have to happen with Chester.

Any help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks!
