A 9-month-old male Roborovski fractured his lower left front tooth. Pt 2/2

Anaesthesia by gas was needed to slow down the roborovski. Lower left front tooth was fractured to the gum level. So the long lower right tooth prevented ease of grasping the seed to crack it. Hamster stopped eating seeds. Only human food. After clipping short the lower right tooth to gum level, the hamster should be able to grasp seeds to eat soon.


EMAIL UPDATE FROM OWNER ON FEB 2, 2019
Hi Dr Sing,
 
Thanks for your email.
Over past few days he didn’t eat seeds. I fed him scrambled egg and fish cake, he seem to like it.
Surprisingly, this morning (Feb 2, 2019), he finally eating the sunflower seeds I opened for him.
Will continue to give him the ear drops and antibiotics.
