NEVER, ever, ever use human medication on an animal without specific instructions from your vet. Animals are not tiny people! If your hamster were to lick off the antibiotic ointment, it could be poisoned.





Take your hamster to the vet right away - you don't want the cut to get infected.Can i put antibiotic cream on my hamsters cut?
You can't use human medications on animals as it's far too strong for them and can make them very ill.





If the cut/gash is deep, you'll need to see a vet to avoid it becoming infected.





Superficial wounds should be washed well with diluted povidone iodine. Peroxide is really too caustic for this, and may cause local necrosis. Try to clip away as much fur around any wounds as possible, and wash well with the povidone solution.





You could also purchase some antisceptic solution from either a good pet store or the vets.





If it doesn't show signs of healing after using the above within say 24 hours it would be a good idea to speak to a vet about it.
what cut the hamsters leg in the first place?You need to fix whatever caused it first.Now,you can try some cream on it..but if she can get to it and lick it..it may do no good.I know someone that took a hamster in for stitches before.Got in a fight with it's roomie.LOL
Yes.


Try to cover it so she doesn't lick it.


Masking tape is OK.
