My dwarf hamster has been losing weight over the last week. I was trying to find out why. At first I thought it was his brother bullying him and stealing his food/snacks (not true). Then I thought it was depression, etc. Finally I noticed overgrown teeth. I am afraid of trimming it and think it would be best to leave it to the professionals. (Injecting drugs for lab via needles is completely different from holding them down so i can cut their teeth without hurting the tongue or mouth.
This is the first time I am bringing my pet to a vet. How much does it cost for a vet to trim a hamster's teeth? I know prices are different everywhere but can you tell me how much you would charge? I dont want to spend anything more than 50. . and was hoping it would be around 5-10 dollars. Can I just walk in? I am afraid my hamster will starve to death if this will go on one more day.
Thanks a bunch.
PS. oh yeah, how would i find a vet for hamsters?
