no he’s not bald. there is a lil fur loss but i think it’s because of his diet cause i didn’t know what do i add in his diet for protein but you helped me with it. i started giving him eggs and walnut as you mentioned earlier.Mites need vet treatment unfortunately - it needs to be prescribed by a vet. It might not be mites. I was unclear from the photos above whether he had fur loss or not? There are other reasons for fur loss if he does have it and his improved diet will help too. Usually with mites their skin is sore and maybe even bleeding where they have scratched so much and really quite bald patches.
thank you. i shall visit the vet soonIf you can find Ivermectine in a brand specifically for hamsters, gerbils, rats and mice, it might help as it is is a topical insecticide. The formulation has to say safe for hamsters on the box though so that the dose is safe. The brand is Xeno and it might be available online. I hope your hammy feels better soon.
there are actually no good vets nearby. i went to this place where he prescribed multivitamin and vitamin c drops for him. you asked me to stop with that so i stopped adding drops in his water. i give him fresh food everyday and try to keep his cage clean.Xeno spot-on may be available to buy. It's not usually recommended as it can be toxic to hamsters unless it's the right thing in the right dose. The idea being that it hasn't actually been diagnosed as mites so you wouldn't want to be giving it unnecessarily. Most vets will see hamsters as well as other animals. Are there any vets at all in your area? It would help to know if it's mites or something else really.
will do, thanks.My vet prescribed it for Socks, but she did carefully weigh him and could tell me the exact dose for him. It is better to get it from a vet. She prescribed it without a skin scrape, but did do a visual examination.
