Question

My hamster jumped out of my hands and fell onto the floor he started squeaking ,he doesn't squeak all the time, after checking him it looks like he's dragging his right back leg, do you have any idea of how much the cost would be in Massachusetts or if there's a free place to go to

This is a medical emergency and he had to see a vet now. He could have broken his leg, and he’s likely in terrible pain. Leaving him like this would be cruel. There won’t be a free place, veterinary medicine costs money as it is a business. I would see if you could borrow money family and friends to afford a vet, and I can give you some resources that may help. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ Please take him into a vet immediately
