Latte

[Maz]

I’m so sorry she lost the eye. As Socks Mum says they do perfectly well with one eye. Even if she hadn’t lost it, it’s likely she would have lost her sight in it already once it started bulging like that. So in that sense it’s better out than in - so to speak. Even though it’s upsetting. Did the vet have to operate to remove it and stitch up?

I have to say that the swelling on her face does look a bit improved though - do you think?

She will be running around and fit and healthy soon I am sure.

Thank you very much for your good wishes and comments. I am grateful to all of you. I hope latte runs around and plays like before. The process is very difficult for me

Very sad. Stay strong, I hope your little one rallies soon

It’s really hard seeing them suffering isn’t it? But she’s young and getting the right treatment . Eyes are the one thing that really got to me.

 

[Rzt]

İts so hard for me I said to vet ‘ım doctor but ım not doctor now ı forgot everything today ‘. You helped me a lot, thank you very much.

 

[Maz]

So are you a doctor for humans? It's never the same when it's something or someone close to us.

 

[Rzt]

Yes ım medicine doctor(for human) . I don't know how I found this page, but you were so helpful, so I can't thank you enough. I'm here if you need anything. I would like to help . I love you. I will write the developments about Latte

Sending get well wishes to Latte. So sorry about her eye. As others have said hamsters cope well as their eyesight is pretty poor anyway. You're doing everything you can to get latte better.

So sorry to hear about Latte. Keep us updated with her healing. She is lucky to have such an attentive owner.

Latte gets worse as the hours go by. He doesn't eat or drink anything. I'm trying to feed it with a syringe. I think the antibiotic was only good for the abscess, but it immobilized it. We will go to the vet tomorrow. I will write the developments

 

[Maz]

I am so sorry to hear that. How many days has she been on the antibiotic now? Did the vet give you any pain relief medications as well? I think she will need them. It's usually Metacam/Loxicom.

 

[Rzt]

We used it for 3 days. The abscess is over, but Latte doesn't open its mouth. He doesn't eat, he doesn't drink water. Even if we pour it in his mouth with a syringe, he takes it out. I think the drugs stopped appetizing. Let's see what the vet will say tomorrow

 

[Maz]

Sometimes they can feel quite unwell on an antibiotic until it's finished. However if Latte isn't receiving any pain relief, and has lost an eye - that might be the issue. Pain. Were you given any metacam/loxicom?

 

[Socks' Mum]

I am very sorry to hear that your little one is not eating or drinking. I hope the vet can help Latte. It's very sad.

Thinking of Latte

 

[Rzt]

Let's pray for him to live until tomorrow morning. He hasn't eaten or drunk anything properly for 5 days. I hope the vet will keep him alive tomorrow. Those who have advice can write. I hope my little Latte won't leave me

 

[Rzt]

she got very weak. I hope he got sluggish because of the side effect of the drug.

We are all rooting for Latte

 

[Maz]

Will she take anything from the syringe? Maybe try some sugar water.

I’m guessing she doesn’t have any pain relief meds just now, Hopefully you can get some from the vet tomorrow. That could make a big difference to her appetite.

 

[Rzt]

I cry all the time. I don't feel good at all. she is breathing hard. It makes noises. If sugar water will be good, I will do it now. There are painkillers, but I'm afraid the medicine will affect it badly. It may have been so bad because of antibiotics. Thank you all. You were there for me in my difficult time.
