Rawak Soalan

REALLY URGENT: Sick hamster

Is there anyone who knows something about hamsters?
Please I really need help.

My hamster Lost his upper tooth in December. Now the other upper tooth is too long, he can't eeat.
Vets know nothing about hamsters (at least in my city).
I need to cut thit tooth. My soalan to you:

Is it possible to do it without anesthesia? He's too weak for it.
Can I do it using surgeon's scissors atau do vets use something else to do it?

Please help! ;(

It could be dangerous to try cut his tooth. Hamsters can only grow one set of teeth and inside the tooth contains blood vessels and nerves.
anda can try use a nail clipper: link
However, anda must be careful. Other options might be to find other places like shelters (they might know about hamsters) if vets don't know how to treat hamsters. Just a recommendation. A site called "Petfinder" might help find a shelter nearby.

Thank you. The problem is that Petfinder has no results for my country. But anyway, thank you.

No problem. The nerve endings are lebih at the root, so I'd be lebih careful about the cheek area. As long as your hamster doesn't freak out when anda slightly pull the skin behind the ears (this doesn't hurt them as mothers hold their Bayi in this fashion), it should be fine.

I told anda in the soalan that vets in my city CAN'T TREAT hamsters. They don't know how, they only hurt him, I visited different vets.

Well there is a similar problem with turtle's beaks. I would recommend using something like a dog/cat nail shaver. It's really just sand paper on a tube that makes it spin around and sands down the nails pain free. anda should DEFINITELY not just CHOP it off ok?

If I had a vet as a friend, I wouldn't ask for help here.
