How to treat a cold in hamsters? (The whole body is weak, the limbs are spread out. The eyes cannot be opened)

Through "Do you know what the symptoms are if your hamster has a cold?" 》We determined whether our hamster had a cold. So, what should we do if our hamster really has a cold?

You are not afraid of catching a cold if you have a warm nest↖(^ω^)↗

Isolate the hamster with a cold

If there is more than one hamster at home, then , you need to isolate the cold hamster from other hamsters. We all know that cold viruses can spread through the air. At the same time, it is best to disinfect the cages and supplies provided to hamsters with colds before feeding them to hamsters.

Mild cold treatment

If your hamster has a cold but its mental state and diet are normal, it can heal itself as long as it pays more attention to keeping warm.

You can feed some pet milk substitutes (for example: PetAg American Baker) or pet energy water (for example: Maca nutritional water (yellow water) or VK small animal energy water) to increase the pet's own immunity. An appropriate amount of vitamin C can also enhance a hamster's resistance, but excessive vitamin C may cause diarrhea.

General cold treatment

If your hamster has a cold, but its mental state and diet are still good, the first thing to do is to keep warm. Secondly, feed some isatis root granules.

You can feed 2-3 isatis granules directly, or put them in a kettle and add water to make them a little yellow. If you put it in a kettle, it is best to change it at least once a day to avoid deterioration caused by not changing it for a long time. If the hamster drinks it, it will cause diarrhea.

Severe cold treatment

If your hamster's cold symptoms are serious, in addition to feeding some milk substitute and nutritional water to replenish physical strength, antibiotics may also be needed at this time. It should be noted that do not use antibiotics that are prohibited for hamsters.

If you are able, it is best to take it to a professional pet hospital.

Other precautions

1. Human colds can be transmitted to hamsters. Therefore, if you have a cold, please minimize or avoid contact with hamsters.

After you get better from the cold, get close to the hamster again!

2. It is best to check the weather forecast for the next day every day. If there is a cold wave, make preparations to keep warm as soon as possible;

3. It is strictly forbidden to wash hamsters! Hamsters don't need water to bathe, they will clean themselves up!

First of all, keep its box warm...

If you don't have an electric blanket at home... just put some rotten clothes under its cage. .

The cage should also be half-covered with clothes.. Keep the temperature.

Then give it Banlangen Granules, about 20 tablets mixed with 10ML of water.. Change it every day, and feed it with a syringe. Go in (you can also feed them pellets directly)

My Shih Tzu caught a cold. I also fed her pellets directly. She was unwilling to eat at first. After a few times, she became very obedient and ate by herself. ..

Three times a day, don’t give too much, about 4 pills each time

It is a three-part poison!!!

If it is serious, give it Give antibiotics, once every 12 hours...just a little bit...(roxithromycin dispersible tablets are OK), they are all sold in pharmacies...

Just stick to it for more than three days. Already..
