HOOK. A wired hamster cage is less expensive and is most popular for many first-time hamster owners. But it is not safe. A hamster loves to climb up the wired frame. Falls and fractures its leg.
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE LEG IS FRACTURED?
Almost all owners are against leg amputation when their hamster fractures the leg as in this case. But the hamster keeps licking the fractured femoral/tibial area. The skin becomes traumatised and broken. Bacteria infects the ulcerated skin causing redness and itchiness.
WHY SHOULD THE FRACTURED HAMSTER'S LEG BE AMPUTATED?
Bone pins and screws to repair the fracture in the dwarf hamster are not possible.
Amputation prevents further trauma and infections. The hamster is able to pee and poop without feeling the pain of broken bone ends poking into his muscles.
Without the pain of jagged broken bones, he is able to lead a normal life with 3 legs. He can pee and poop properly and groom himself. With a painful broken hind leg, some hamsters cannot groom properly and has a bad smell in the back area, owing to urine scalding and stool staining.
