Before you decide how to treat your nails, you'll want to take a closer look to determine in what ways they were damaged. Examine the nails shapes to see if they are distorted. Look at the coloring of the nails, as a green or yellow shade could indicate infection. Feel the surface of the nails to see if you can detect any surface bumps or ridges.  Once you make a detailed note of your nails' appearance, then it will make it easier to track improvement and healing over time. If your nails have a green or yellow coloring, you may have a nail fungus. Talk to your doctor about possible treatments. Small, white patches on your nail may be from a keratin build-up or they may signal a nutritional deficiency of a vitamin or mineral, like zinc or magnesium. Your doctor can diagnose whether it is a deficiency or not by doing a full-blood count. If your nail is split open or cut, then wash the area carefully under water with soap. Sanitize it with an alcohol wipe. Apply a bit of antibiotic cream or gel to the nail bed. If the cut is large, cover it with a band aid. If the injury is minor, let it air out and keep it clean. If you have been diagnosed with a fungal infection, take steps to make sure that it does not spread. Fungal infections can spread from your fingernails to your toenails, your eyes, and to other people.  Wear gloves to prevent contaminating others. Avoid cooking or serving food to other people during this time. Keep your hands clean, and treat any broken skin around the nail. Apply anti-fungal cream as directed by your doctor. If you've cut deep into the nail bed and the bleeding won't stop or if a large part of the nail has separated from the skin, then consider getting medical attention sooner rather than later. A doctor can treat the immediate injury, while making it less likely that you will get a secondary infection. Sometimes a nail injury is actually a sign that the finger has been fractured. Unless the finger is visibly damaged, an x-ray or MRI will be ordered.

Summary: Assess the extent of injury. Treat any wounds. Avoid spreading fungal infections. Get emergency help.


You can use an established website that is specifically geared towards helping artists sell art and other goods to create your online store. Choosing a website like Etsy or Bonanza is often an easy choice if you don’t know how to create a website on you own. An already established website will give you advice on how to set up your store, put up your work, and promote your work successfully. Keep in mind, however, that websites like Etsy will take a percentage of each purchase.  Explore the website and read reviews before committing your work to it. A few other websites to choose from are Zazzle, Cargoh, and Made It Myself. Signing up on established websites (like Etsy or Zazzle) is simple and free. Go to your chosen website to sign up for a membership. Then, you will be asked to fill out some personal information, such as your name, shop name, local currency, email, and what type of items you will be selling. Read the instructions and carefully enter your information to make sure everything that will appear on your page is correct. Typically, you won’t need to design the look of the page on an established website. You will just need to add information and content. Add an about section, a contact information page, portfolio section, and your “shop” page. Most importantly, add photos of the prints you’d like to sell. Include information about the print, such as size, colors used, and background information (if you’d like). If you’re using a website, such as Cargoh, you won’t need to set up your own payment system. You will just need to determine the price for each print you’re selling. Price your print according to the amount of effort put into the print, type of print, and what a similar print usually goes for. Consider adding a small amount to the price to cover the fee the website will take from the sale. For example, if your print is $10 USD, consider adding $1 USD to the overall cost. Typically, you can accept payments from debit cards, Google Wallet, Apple Pay, and gift cards, if the site offers gift cards. Once a payment has been made, the amount will be deposited directly into your bank account. Keep in mind that the website will take a small percentage of the payment before depositing the amount. A 3.5% transaction fee for each product sold is typical with established websites. Websites like Etsy make shipping easy because they calculate shipping for you. All you will need to do is carefully package the print, and send it out to the correct location. Try to send out the item as soon as possible, as you will get better reviews if the item arrives quickly.

Summary: Choose an established website. Become a member. Set up your page. Add prices. Choose a method for accepting payments. Ship your sold items.


It’s a green icon with a white speech bubble that says “LINE” inside. You’ll usually find it in the app drawer. It’s near the top-right corner of the screen and looks like a person’s head and shoulders with a “+” symbol. It’s the last icon in the row at the top of the screen.  LINE will display the person’s name and profile image (if applicable) at the bottom of the screen. It’s the green button beneath the person’s username. This user is now added to your contacts list.

Unlike other larger pets, hamsters can have free access to food and water up until surgery. Prior to surgery, continue to feed your hamster as usual and provide it with plenty of fresh water. On the day of surgery, prepare a package of your hamster’s normal amount of food. Bring this food with you to the vet, along with your hamster’s water bottle. Because of your hamster’s small size, your veterinary team will be extra careful to monitor your hamster during surgery. After anesthetizing your hamster, they will monitor its body temperature, breathing rate, and heart rate. They will also give your hamster fluids so it remains well hydrated during surgery.  Your vet will make an incision and carefully remove the tumor. After the surgery, either your vet or a member of the veterinary team will call you to let you know how the surgery went and how your hamster is doing after surgery. They will also let you know when you can come pick up your hamster. When you pick up your hamster, your vet will give you a set of instructions on how to care for your hamster at home. Make sure to follow these instructions carefully to help your hamster recover after surgery. Before heading home, ask your vet any questions you may have about at-home care, including:  How long will it make my hamster to recover? What if my hamster looks sick? Will my hamster need medications?
Summary: Feed your hamster food and water. Have your vet perform surgery. Pick up your hamster.
