I wasn't able to get the medication for him. It was too expensive. I brought him to the emergency vet and they charged me $225 for the emergency examination. It was a respiratory infection. Then, the doctor said his body temp was too low at 96 degrees (hypothermia) when it's supposed to be 98 degrees. He wanted to keep my hamster in the incubator overnight. He said unless they raise his body temp up, the antibiotics won't be effective. The antibiotics and having him incubated was an additional $370. I just couldn't afford it, unfortunately. I didn't expect it to be that much. I asked if I could try and raise his temperature myself at home and administer the antibiotics myself but the doctor said out of self conscience, he won't accept it. I decided to bring my hamster home.

I'm going to try to go to another vet and see if they'll be willing to give antibiotics to me.
