Buffy responded really well to the Baytril when she had it so it could be that shes feeling a lot better because of that, it sounds good if shes acting normally but I would be worried about the bloating too.

thanks so much Angie xxx

im worried its a closed pyo and a spay is her best option so ive just phoned my own vet practice & my regular vet has no surgeries at all this month.... i asked the receptionist if she could find out if any of the other vets had ever spayed a hammy...they havent and she just said they wouldnt recommend it because it will probably die...so im feeling a bit helpless now, does anyone know of a rodent specialist vet around sheffield,rotherham,doncaster area?...i dont drive im afraid.

i ended up taking Truffles to a vet practice i use to use, i called them to see if any of their vets had experience of spaying a hammy with possible pyo, and they said they had, so this morning we took her, the vet was really nice, she was very confident handling Truffles unlike the 1st vet i saw, but i felt really upset because she was so frightened and she kept squeaking , she said the fluid around her abdomen could be a pyo but it could also be a tumour or something wrong with her liver, i asked her about scanning to be sure and she said the equipment was big as its for cats and dogs and though they could try to scan her, she didnt want to stress her out further as she doesnt think Truffles would survive an operation anyway...she thinks her age is against her, so she gave her an anti inflamatory injection in the hope it will reduce some of the fluid....and my poor little Truffles screamed ....so ive decided im not going to stress her out any further, im going to make what time she has left as happy and comfortable as i can, and when i think shes not enjoying life anymore i wont let her suffer i'll take her back to the vets and let her go to sleep.

So sorry they think it all would be too much, everything crossed though that the anti Inflamms will help and keep her comfortable so she has a good quality and quite some time yet xxxxx

Sorry to hear about your hammy
I've now learnt something new, didn't know hammies could get pyo and I've owned mostly females throughout the past 12 years.
