Hamster fell, dragging leg. How to find affordable vet care in MA?

Unfortunately no, Bundar does have to see a vet for this problem. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/

Oh no, poor Hamlet! It sounds like he was seriously injured with his fall, and I'd be concerned he could have broken his leg or hips, or done serious injury to his spine. I would have him seen by a vet immediately to diagnose what is causing his symptoms so he can be treated.

Sorry to hear about Flash. If you believe his leg might be fractures, you should probably be seen by a veterinarian, as broken legs or back can be very painful and possibly life threatening. I would remove the wheel for now in hopes of preventing further damage to the leg/back.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Since Chompie is not using her hind leg and if you believe it may be broken, I recommend having her seen by a veterinarian. Hamsters often hide any signs of pain since they are prey species. Your veterinarian will be able to closely examine Chompie and may recommend x-rays to look for evidence of a fracture. Other possible causes include neurologic diseases that are making the leg nonfunctional. Your veterinarian may recommend splinting the leg if it is fractured, or may recommend pain medications if indicated. I hope this is helpful!

Poor chip. It is hard to say what is causing the abnormal activity with out examining him. I would recommend taking him to a vet for a good exam to determine if he has a fracture or soft tissue injury. The vet can provide pain control which will keep him more comfortable. hope that helps

Hi there. I'm so sorry to read about Cappuccino's troubles. I know veterinary care can be overwhelming sometimes. I don't know about any places that would see a rabbit for free. However, you can check for financial aid resources in your area. This website seems to have a list of organizations listed by state https://www.thesimpledollar.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-financial-aid-for-pets/ There is also the Shakespeare fund that may help you just with the initial exam. I would look into that, because it's at least a start. You may be able to get Cappuccino examined, and see if there is anything, like pain medication, that may not be too pricey for him that he can have until you go forward with all of the specialists recommendations. Another resource you can look into is a gofundme through facebook. You can also try contacting the humane society in your area. They may have resources to help you out! I hope you find this answer helpful! Best of luck!

This definitely needs to be checked out by a vet. This isn't normal, and she is likely in pain from the fall. There are no OTC pain medications you can give, and leaving her in pain would be cruel to her. Please take her into a vet immediately.
