Robins tumour update

[Yorkie]

A quick question,what quantity of emerald critical care do I need to mix for Robin?.The vet advised that if she lost any weight it is a good choice.I weighed her this morning and she has lost seven grams,somi want to try and maintain that weight. I bought some before ,but never used it as my hammy passed .

I am very sorry to hear Robin is struggling with weight loss. I think it is more about consistency and whether she prefers more runny porridge like CC. I haven't used it yet but I know that with guinea pigs varying the consistency can help to make it more palatable. I hope it works well for you

Thanks ,I will give her just a blob on a tea spoon and may be a little drop of something more palatable . She is still a good weight at 223 grams ,but since she had her initial.tumour removed she has lost around 30 grams. She lost 21 with the tumour and now,a month later another. 8 grams because of the new tumour. She is,however ,still enjoying her food and cuddles and just basically hamstering bless her

I'm afraid I don't know that one as I have never used it. I tend to use shelled hemp seeds for dietary supplement. They are high calorie and contain most vitamins and minerals and hamsters like licking them up.

I have heard that some animals enjoy it greatly. Is it one that is specifically for hamsters? I think the one for guinea pigs and rabbits is different

It's the critical.care omnivore sachet that you can buy on Amazon ,it's highly recommended for hammies

That's just right. Their guinea pig meals are brilliant, so I think it should be well received I think it is designed to be possible to administer using a small syringe if necessary, but I found even when Socks was very weak, he could still nibble enough and I think feeding with a teaspoon should work really well. It has a good formulation of nutrients
