Question
hi my name is Kyle and my hamster got her front paw either ripped off or she chewed it off but i was wondering if i should take it to a vet and get her checked out...please HELP!!!

Answer
Hi Kyle,

    Yes, she should be seen by a vet so they can check her for infection. If an infection gets too bad, she may not be able to get over it.
    If you have anymore questions, please write again.

Thank you for writing and best of luck!
