my daughters cat got to her chinese hamster last night, and has damaged her back foot, (the hamsters), would a trip to the vet be a waste of time, or is it recommended.

It would def be a good idea to get to a vet, she has most prob got it caught in the wheel or bars, it may get injected and swollen in left so better safe than sorry

yes take it to the vet as if it becomes infected the hamster will need treatment for it.you will have to watch the cat now as it knows the hamster is there and wont forget.my friend had the same thing happen with a chipmunk she had the cat and the chipmunk for about 6 years and the cat eventually killed the chipmunk.it was really sad.

Call the Vet, or ask at a Pet store. They might know.
I feel for your Hamster.
I had one die in my hands. My dog had scared
it to death.
How are you going to keep the cat from getting
to the Hamster ?
It was the sound of my dogs barking that killed mine.
The dog never touched it. The Hamster was out of
reach.
But cats, they climb, and tear things apart
to get what they want.
I bet the Hamster is cute to.

if you want the hamster to live get it to a vet now for a massive antiobiotic injection. If you can see damage, you have a legal and moral obligation to get veterinary treatment. If your daughter had an accident and had damage to one of her legs or feet, what would you do? Would you take her to hospital or would you post here asking for opinions?????
How is getting proper treatment for an injured animal EVER a waste of time????????

you may't bathroom practice them. They stay 2 - 3 years I reccomend utilizing care sparkling bedding instead of timber shavings. It receives rid of all smell and is the healthiest for the hamster. you supplies you them sparkling vegetables as treats or the occasional little bit of fruit, or you may by hamster treats on the keep. strong success! someone lower than me printed that hamsters must have carrots once an afternoon. it truly is inaccurate. Carrots are extreme in sugar and may want to bring about diabetes if fed to many times. this is extra effective to stay with leafy vegetables.

Yes take it to the vet. It may be infected, or broken, in which case the vet can make it more comfortable.

yes get it checked, phone the vet first and explain what has happended, and dont worry about them enquiring about how the cat got it (im assuming thats why your a bit worried about taking it), they will just want to make sure it wont get infected or isnt in any pain!

Take her to the vet! If a tiger got your back foot, would you go to the hospital??
