"There is some allergy on her belly," I said. "Something contacting her belly skin and causing itchiness. Did you change to some new bedding some 4-6 weeks ago."
The slim, fair and serene lady recalled: "I change to corn bedding 4 weeks ago. I read in the internet that newspapers are toxic to my hamster."
"The solution is simple," I said. "Go back to a tissue paper bedding for the next 4 weeks after I have given this hamster an anti-itchy injection."
"This hamster is overweight", I said.
"She just eats sunflower seeds," the lady replied. "She can eat sunflower seeds all day long. She was much fatter before and could not come out of her hamster house!"
The Yoga lady took out her handphone and showed me the video of her portly hamster stuck in the door of her hamster house. Struggling to come out but unable to do so.
"It is funny. I can see that her eyes pop out as she tries to squeeze out of the door." this video really brightens my day. At the expense of the poor hamster.
The video always made the owner laugh. She has this serene look and so it was not stressful to talk to her.
"Have you visited Myanmar?" I asked. I had a fun trip exploring the best of Myanmar in October.
She shook her head: "I went to India to visit my Yoga teacher." Few Singaporeans visit Myanmar.
A lady interested in yoga would explain why she looked serene. Yoga is very de-stressful or it could be her personality.
PROCEDURE
An anti-inflammatory injection subcutaneous was given to the overweight hamster after she has some gas anaesthesia. It was possible to restrain and inject this hamster without anaesthesia too but the catching may be too stressful.
The hamster went home without complications. A follow up would be good.
