Escaped hamster...... We found him but at some point during the night he got into a mouse trap. He is growling and hissing and has a bloody eye. The kids are crying because he probably won't make it. I called my vet but he is out of town until Wednesday. I just don't know what to do for him. |
OH NO!!!! He is hurt....the trap probably snapped on his head via..the eye,,,:( Poor thing |
I'm so sorry, I don't know what to do either. Is there another vet you can call? Poor little hamster :( |
I called the vets in the phone book in this area and they all told me they don't really do hamsters and that there's not much they can do for him. They told me they suggest putting him to sleep. I am hoping and praying he makes it. He is sleeping right now. Since they are nocturnal creatures I will asses his condition tonight (if he makes it) and then decide on weather or not to have him put to sleep.:( |
oh no thats terrible:( my hamsters managed to escape a few times also..they're sneaky little things. I hope he makes it :hands: |
Poor little thing. I hope he makes it |
poor little guy. i hope he's ok. |
I am so very sorry! Sending hugs :ghug: |
How horrible for the little guy. Hope everything works out for the best. |
That's so horrible. :( One of the reasons I won't do mousetraps...I always have a hamster. I hope the poor little guy makes it. Let us know! |
Update!!!! Elvis made it through the night. In fact I was sitting here by the computer last night and watched the little snot open his cage last night and try to escape again!:eek: I can't beleive he didn't learn anything from his first night of freedom. I kept him from getting out then I fixed his cage where he couldn't open it again!:p He is doing great! His bloody eye looks good too. I think he's going to make a full recovery. To be on the safe side though, I am going to take him to the vet on Wednesday when my vet comes back. |
Good to hear!!! |
Whew. I am glad he is doing better. What a naughty hamster! |
Glad to hear Elvis is alive -- I can't believe I just typed that -- lol! Might have to rename him Houdini! |
Yep, we have 4 hamsters. (2males and 2 females.) Their names are: Elvis, Prissella, Lisa, and Presley! |
I'm glad Elvis is going better :D |
So great that Elvis is alive and doing well!! (did that sound weird to anyone else? :p) |

I am taking Elvis to the vet tomorrow at 2p.m. He is doing alot better. I cleaned his cage earlier and found a little blood in his pee and his eye still has some bleeding to it. The good news is he let me pick him up so he must not be in any pain. I'm sure he will be just fine. The kids are so pleased that Elvis is still with us. :) |
