goofdog00 Registered User (5/7/04 7:13 am) Reply	Re: To help a young ill Hamster Hi~ You need to stop giving your hamster meds for humans. Hamsters are very sensitive to antibiotics and unless the proper antibiotic is prescribed by a vet, you can KILL your hamster. Why don't you take him to a vet? Thanks, goofdog00

I have taken my hamster to a vet and the vet can't do anything plus its a all herbal remadie that the homiopath said helps everything and its very hard to find its not sold in drug stores or anything and I'm only giving my hamster 4 drops every 2 days or soo thats not alot and so far nothings gone wrong I've been checking on her and making sure its all good and the tumor is getting alittle smaller so obviously its working
Danashamsters Moderator (5/8/04 12:24 am) Reply	Re: I DID! Human medicines are bad for people in general. Hamsters are allergic, and can die, from many herbs as it is, so it being herbal does not really help the case. If it's internal tumor, I'd suggest putting her to sleep. There is nothing, like you said, that vets can do about internal tumors. They grow, stretching her poor stomach out, and pushing on all of her organs. She'll be in pain as the tumor grows and it's just not worth it to watch her suffer. If its external, the vet CAN remove it without too much risk if she's under a year. If she's over a year old, it could get a lot more risky, but at least she'd die in her sleep. Please do not continue giving your hamster that medicine. It mya look like its helping, but in fact, you do not actually know how its making her feel, what its doing to her body and appetite. Dana

FreakyEwi Unregistered User (5/8/04 6:41 pm) Reply	You all don't understand Okay yes this tumor could get bigger but its not since I've been giving her esiac and non of you know ANYTHING about it I do my mom makes it I've look up all of those herbs and non are harmful too her. her tumor isn't hurting her so i figure since she's only like a year and a half that i can help her by giving her this I talked to my vet and a few others around town they all said that nothing they can do. i talked to my homeopath about giving this to my hamster and she said its great because she knows a few other people who've taken this have givin it to there animals when they got ill and therefore makes this safe I'm not abusing her at all she Drinks this stuff on her own I don't need to force her to take it I give it too her every 2 days 4 drops from a eye dropper (thats brand new never used except for this) and everything is fine please understand that
Hamlet88 Registered User (5/8/04 7:46 pm) Reply	Re: You all don't understand Hmmmm. If you think that it is your only choice, so be it. You are right, there is little that a vet can do for a hamster with cancer. Just please watch, if the tumor begins to affect your hamster's quality of life, you may have to let her go. _______________ 2 Kings 2:23-24

If anything bad starts to happen to her I will not hold back in ending her life because its the better for her and she wont be in any pain but this esiac has helped alot of people with cancer and things and so far its starting to help her but if anything goes wrong I know what i have to do

bbise Registered User (6/8/04 2:17 pm) Reply	any progress FreakyEwi, I agree with you that doing something to give your hamster a more comfortable life is better than just putting it to sleep and commend you on your efforts. As your last post was about 1 month ago I am curious to see how things are going...Is your hamster doing ok with the essiac treatments? Has the tumor continued to regress? My hamster just had surgery to remove a tumor, but im afraid he is beginning to develop another and can not endure the stress of another surgery, thinking about trying the Essiac tea next...

I guess the best thing you can do for your hamster besides using the medication is be there for him or her and pray. b8.ezboard.com/fbabygifworldfrm7 THE BIG GIFFER
fallonR Registered User (6/8/04 6:32 pm) Reply	Re: any progress I'm sorry to hear about your hamster, and I hope it keeps getting smaller and she is well soon. How has she been acting? Does she still act the same or has she stopped doing certain things she used to? She may not even be suffering. I don't think something herbal could be bad for your hamster.. it isn't bad for us humans.. whoever said that. If anything worse happens then you should stop use of it.. but I think she'll be okay. Good luck! Please visit my brand new site darlingpet.com where you can submit your pet to become the top pet and admire/view/rate other pets
bbise (6/10/04 1:44 am) Reply	pudge is doing well! I was hoping Freaky Ewi would reply. The essiac treatments for my hamster pudge has gone well, i can't tell if the tumor has gotten smaller during the time he was on it, but it definitely did not get any bigger. Pudge was on Essiac for only a couple of days. Since he started the Essiac I found a more promising, more expensive, and more labor intensive herbal treatment and discontinued the Essiac...I don't know how well it is working for now as he has only taken the second dose of it so far but i will keep everyone apprised. Because of this treatment's experimental nature I will start a blog website for Pudge's progress, hopefully it does work and if it is successful, will benefit other hamsters in the future... fingers crossed for pudge and hamster-kind!

purplemajesty Registered User (6/16/04 10:34 am) Reply	Re: To help a young ill Hamster There are two bumps on my kids hamster one is on its back and it looks like a huge pimple could that be a tumor? and the other is under its mouth near his neck. Are these things cancer? has anyone else experienced this before?

Hamlet88 Moderator (6/16/04 2:52 pm) Reply	Re: To help a young ill Hamster Oh, and the other thing it could be is an abcess. Abcesses are infected wounds that can sometimes look like that. This requires vet attention as well. _______________ 2 Kings 2:23-24 OOOO] this is my lightsaber, but I turned it off for safety reasons
bbise (6/17/04 12:13 am) Reply	reply Yes, i agree, you should take it to the vet, hopefully it is an abcess, but the locations of the lumps being in two seperate areas may indicate worse... I hope not. My hamster's second tumor is under his neck and is a considerable lump, looks like a small oval grape in his throat. So far the essiac treatments has been inconclusive but i am working on a website to keep track of his progress...all I know is it is similar to freakyewi's experiences where it has slowed the growth...Pudge (my hamster) still seems healthy otherwise. I will let you all know once the site is up!
