| Hamsters in Sickness and in Health is a comprehensive book telling
you all
you need to know about looking after a hamster. It is written both for the
novice who has never had a hamster as a pet before, right through to the
experienced hamster owner who has been breeding hamsters for many years.
Covering basic information, such as housing, bedding, diet etc, it also includes
a very comprehensive section on veterinary care, alternative treatments and
first aid. A large number of illnesses are covered
in some detail, including how serious a condition is. So, if you find
yourself with a poorly hamster one evening when the veterinary surgery is
closed, Hamsters in Sickness and in Health should help you decide whether or not
you need to phone for an emergency vet. It also includes alternative
treatment, such as homeopathic and herbal and where appropriate this is listed
along with first aid that you can carry out in the short term.
Hamsters in Sickness and in Health is
essential for anyone who keeps hamsters or is thinking of getting a hamster as a
pet. It is also a good reference book for hamster breeders because of the
large section on veterinary treatment and drugs used to treat each condition.
This book has been published by Capall Bann and
can be bought either direct from them or from good book shops.
