Reminders for Ailments & Injuries Forum

-- Note that this section is to be used only for illnesses, injuries and urgent hamster care matters. Please post important info only and do not use the topics to chat.

-- Refer to the sticky topic "A-Z Guide on Common Hamster Ailments and Illnesses" before posting.

-- Please show compassion, sensitivity and consideration to the feelings/situation of the topic starter in need of help, especially in terms of giving "seeing a vet" advice. Provide alternative advice in place of "see a vet" if the situation allows. This is to encourage members to ask for help instead of being turned away.

-- Use a descriptive topic title if you wish to start a new topic.

-- Do not reply to a topic if you are not sure of a solution or have nothing helpful to add.



-- Keep to only 1 topic for your hamster. Do not start multiple topics for different questions on the same hamster as this may confuse members who are trying to help you. If you discover a new symptom or have new information about your hamster later on, look for your previous topic and continue from there. This helps other members to link previous information together and provide you with better advice.
