Pufla is still doing great. I can’t believe she’s around 1.5 years old already. Where does the time go?
Her brother Crash was here for a week since I am the only one who knows how to give meds orally via a syringe to a hamster.
I am also switching vets since I was extremely unhappy with the one I was going to for years. I thought he was the only one who treats hamsters, but I’ve found a new one and am hoping he’s much better.
The last vet visit ended up with him charging me too much and with stuff he didn’t even do. Not only that, he barely took a look at Crash. I asked him to check Crash’s back since he has a strange spot which he constantly scratches and the vet said it would heal by itself which ofc did not happen. It got even worse. I also told him that Crash had a punctured abscess and the split second he looked at it was enough for him to confirm my diagnosis. He charged me way too much for a split second look at Crash and misdiagnosis on his back. Apparently when he told me the price, his assistant/trainee rolled eyes cause she as well though it was too much, but being in a lower position could not tell him off.
I gotta give her credit though cause she actually played with Crash and handled him trying to see what the problems were and seemed genuinely interested.
