Further update on Salt the Hamster:
Having popped home midday armed with syringe and an out of date
cyclimorph ...
No, I couldn't, not when he looked at me....
Now, 15ukp poorer, with, you guessed it, antibiotics (vets haven't heard
about resistance - and anyway, that's what you always get from the vet
whatever you go with isn't it?) we are set for another night of "Is he
still breathing?"
Despite a deeply cyanosed tongue, a ragged limb, exposed tendons....
the vet thinks he'll make it :-)
As for Vinegar, the viscious one (yes, both male) he ought to be in
disgrace but somehow has acquired himself a whole cage for himself.
We have 10 in all - perhaps time for my children to learn the economic
argument? (i.e. if something costs 3ukp it is not worth repairing if
repairs cost 5 times purchase price?)
But then perhaps I only said I was doing it for them?
