I live in Scotland and my mice are treated like kings and queens. There is no small rodent vet within a 5 hour driving radius and yet I did three years worth or research including checking that the ordinary vets would be able to deal with them which I was assured they would be able to. Even doing this the vet killed 4 of my mice and I would have lost a 5th if I hadn't started treating my animals with home medications. Having again contacted the "rodent" vet they also advice they have never worked with mice so they would just be making a guess. Very professional.
Your argument is moot and I would ask that if you cannot offer something constructive to try and help the OP that you do not bother posting a reply.

In response to your post Karlis, i shall have a look for you. In the meantime the only other think I could suggest would be using a used teabag - try possible using it to wet some of the hamsters bedding if it will not allow you to handle it as the tea is soothing and can help with the inflammation.
