  Well, last night I finally said "that's it" I have to call a vet for my Radar. Hubbie & I scrounged around & collected some change & "fun money" laying around the house & I made him an appt. I took him to a different vet then Albert goes to. This vet is more local. He was VERY nice, as were all the people that worked there. He said Radar has mites (ewww!) & probably has had them since he came home from the pet store. (Grrrrr!) He weighed him to try & figure out how much meds to give him & Radar barely managed to come in at 1 ounce. =(  The vet said he is the tiniest hammie he has ever seen. He gave him a dose of something (?), I was too dumb to ask what! I am having a really bad day to begin with, & I was nervous about having him there. I can't believe I forgot to ask what the med was!!! I'm such a dumb-butt. Anyway, he gave him the tiniest dose he could get to come out of the syringe. He said he needs a dose that is so small, it was hard to get that small of an amount to come out of anything. He said the outlook is somewhat foggy right now. He is so small that the mites have all of the sudden just taken over him. He's having trouble fighting them. Also despite the tiny dose of med he gave him, the vet is concerned it still could be to strong for him. I am a horrible hammie Mom. I should have listened to my heart & taken him in months ago like I wanted to. This is going to be a very important week for him, so we would appreciate your prayers for my little guy. 
  Also how long does it usually take for the mite med (sorry I don't know the name!) to kick in? 
  My thoughts & prayers to all sick piggies & all who have lost a piggie friend. Take care & Happy New Year to all!
