Feeding Lulu medicine

See description at the Youtube video :)

Lulu is actually not a fat fat

For the past two days we suspected Lulu was having a wet tail, so we brought her to the vet expecting some quick diagnose and get medicine.

But the first thing the vet said was: "the first thing I notice here is that why Lulu's food pouch so big? That's abnormal". And then both of us were like "Really??? But we thought she's fat and she has been looking like this for a very long time!".

To our horror, the vet suspected Lulu's food pouch was infected because of constant storing of food.

I will post the video up after I have time to edit, it was like an endless loop of stored food "vomiting" out of Lulu's mouth as the vet pushed the food out from Lulu's cheek. Mummy got freaked out and anxious so me and the vet asked her to go outside. Looking back at the video Mummy still screamed.
When about 60% of the food were out, we could smell the foul rotten food :(

Greedy greedy Lulu!

Anyways, this is how Lulu looks like now:

Exhausted after being "squeezed"

Mummy says she looks like she has gotten a new haircut XD

Now she looks just like any other normal hamsters!!! Apparently her pouch was oversize with extravagant amount of food T_T We have no idea T_T

How she looks like when she had a humongous pouch:

What a huge difference!!!!

So Lulu is now on 0.1ml antibiotic once a day, and seems like she does not have any wet tail symptom, we have changed the wood-shred bedding and even cage for her.

Happy to have Lulu the cute greedy hamster as our daughter <3 We will watch her food intake from now on. Mimi was not this greedy so she never had the wide-face look :)

Mimi's patient description

"Pocket pet" XD

We like this vet. He describes our mini ham ham as "pocket pet", like pocket monster like that, how cute <3

Mimi has red skin behind her ears and on her back, and she seemed to be scratching a lot so we brought her to the vet where we brought Princess the Spitz to.

And here is a funny photo of sleeping Mimi in late September:

May our hammies be happy always, and be reincarnated at a place with Buddhist teaching and get closer to Dharmma, to be liberated from all sufferings.

We wish for the same for our other pets that accompanied us in this life.

Lulu's first visit to vet

We noticed Lulu's swollen right eye, suspecting either caused by fight with Mimi, or she hurt herself (how??).

When the hair on top of her right eye start to fall off and left a bald spot, we immediately decided to bring her to see vet. Luckily Mummy is experienced in bringing pet to vet :)

Poor thing, look at her upper left eye :(

Luckily Mummy has an extra cage so we can separate Lulu and Mimi.

However, Lulu acted aggressively hyper while been left alone in the cage. We have no choice but to put them together in their big cage against doctor's advise T_T

The vet is not certain of Lulu's condition:

a) Lulu's hair were pulled out from some part of body and from the "wounded" part, no mite eggs were found but the possibility is not zero. Hopefully this is not the case because prior to seeing vet Mimi seems fine and not infected in any way.

b) Might be the result of fighting

c) Might be some kind of skin infection, as upper body part of her skin is red :(

So we are now applying 4-6 times of 'eye drop' to Lulu. For now she seems to be improving. The reason for so many drops is because she would 'wipe' them off after application...

Get well soon Lulu!
