how much does it cost to have a checkup for my hamster at the vet

my mom thinks my hamster (it's a syrian) is acting funny,and thinking of going to the vet

but since I'm paying, im wondering how much is a checkup at the vet for a hamster

Answer 1

Likely more that it would cost to replace the Hamster. Standard vet visit $75 - $150

Give your local vet a call and just ask.

Answer 2

CALL A LOCAL SMALL ANIMAL / EXOTIC VETERINARIAN - NO ONE HERE CAN TELL YOU FOR SURE. Good luck!

Answer 3

It is all going to depend on what your vet charges. You are going to get charged for the exam fee(it doesn't matter if it is a hamster or a dog), and then charged for any medicine, etc that the hamster needs.

Where I live an exam fee runs anywhere from $50-$75. One place I go to(one of my emergency vets), cost only $50 to examine the animals. The medicine however adds more $. I have never paid over $20 a medication, however if you are getting two or three different meds that it will add up.

The last rat that went to the vet had an eye infection. It cost $50 for the exam. $25 for two different salves that went in her eye, and another 20 for an antibiotic.

You should call a few vets and ask what their exam fees are, at least you'll have a base to start out. I usually spend an average of $70, but most of the fee is for the exam.

Answer 4

I just had my rat checked out and it cost 85$. She has to have surgery which is gonna cost about $300
