Dwarf hamster injured from fall

21 11:55:08

Question
I have a nearly 2-yr-old dwarf hamster who fell onto a hard floor last night.  She seems to be moving around okay, but she  lost one of her bottom front teeth and may have lost the other one.  I don't know if they're gone for good or just broken off.  I fed her some banana and cheese, and she drinks from her water bottle, but I don't think she can eat her normal seed food.  What else can I do to help her?

Answer
Dear Hether,

The only thing i can suggest is to get her to a vet...quickly! If she can't eat, then she may die. :( the vet may be able to help her, thogh. Keep feeding her foods she is able to chew, and get her medical attention quick!
Please feel free to contact me with any other questions!
sincerely,
Sarah
