Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I do the stress check?
Repeat this evaluation for your hamster once a month or whenever you notice a change. Regular monitoring catches abnormal trends early.
Does this tool replace my vet?
No — this tool does not replace your vet's diagnosis. However, it provides a preliminary assessment you can take with you to your vet visit; your vet can then make decisions more quickly and accurately.
What should I do if results show 'high risk'?
Contact your vet within 24-48 hours. If there are emergency symptoms (shortness of breath, loss of consciousness, bleeding, coma), go to the emergency vet clinic immediately.
Can I use it for multiple hamsters?
Yes, use it separately for each hamster. By comparing the results, you can see which hamster is more at risk in which area.
Is it customized for Turkey?
Yes — the threshold values used are calibrated according to recommendations from the Turkish Veterinary Medical Association. Additional parameters are included for native breeds (Kangal, Akbash, Van Cat, Turkish Angora).
