Actually the vet oso din tell me but I asked her if Maomao needs to go back again.
Maybe u can get him some of his favourite stuffs like treats to let him eat first? Give him some bread soak with milk.
NTUC or any supermarkets sell this baby food. There are many flavours to choose from.
Just feed him with a syringe a few times a day. Make sure u dun feed him too much until he chokes hor.

Updates on BaoBao... He seems fine now...jus clean up his cage & feed him his med...& his hunch-back has improved,fur starts to grow back furry again...will be sending him for another check-up in a couple of week's time cos i heard from another person in another forum,that his tooth may grew back crooked again in abt 4 to 8 week's time... I don't think BaoBao is 100% recovered yet....but will still listen to the Vet's advise to continue to feed his medicine to him for 10 days straight....hpe no complication during these time.... i'll be doing studies on Luke's death soon....as i've taken pics of his death....he died uglyly..... haiz....

Dr ling advised me to bring my Maomao back to her about 3 to 4 weeks later. She told me that some hamsters teeth grow very fast. Was told that one of her customer's hamster tooth grow very long after 3 weeks. So it's better that you don't wait too long.

u better bring it back to the vet.. to check whether is it bao bao teeth grew long bcos he could not eat. or his teeth is grown naturally at a angle where he can t wear it down naturally.
Bcos if its the former when he gets well u dont really need to bring it back to vet already.
if its latter that means u need to make frequent visits to the vet to get his teeth cut. unless u learn to do it yourself la.

Updates on BaoBao... BaoBao is having tears in one of his eye,no pus...is he crying or something?He's eating well....perhaps a bit too well....he finishes a entire Nutri-block in a single day....on top of it,there are minimal hamster mix that are fed to him twice a day....& 2 small tiny pieces of cabbage,one in the day & one in the nite...it's only the size of a 20 cent coin tho....but then,he's still not drinking well...only abt 3ml a day....still love his anti-biotic & anti-infalmmation liquid tho....

May be bacterial infection on the eye. A drop of eye mo is good.
He may also be in pain. 2 of my hamsters used to have tears dwelling in one of their eyes. They passed on soon after. I found out that one of them actually has a long tooth which pierced into his gum only after he died.
