Debby explained: “She is chewing all around her cage, constantly all night.
“And she just won’t give up. She’s just constantly chewing and chewing and chewing.”
Debby continued: “She chews right up where her water bottle is and she’s scratching everywhere as well.”
Alison said: “Okay Dr Scott, I know you’re maybe finding this a little bit hilarious but can you help this hamster.”
At this point, Dr Scott was starting to lose it as he said: “I’m so sorry, I really like hamsters but sorry, sorry, very unprofessional of me.”
Alison said: “Come on doc, pull yourself together!”
Dr Scott continued: “I would say it’s early days with your hamster and give it lots of attention and lots of things to do…” as he began laughing again.
He added: “If it’s having a boring time in his environment, it might chew the bars but it’s early days. It’s only two weeks in.
“So I would say try and play with your hamster, give them lots of things to play with…” as he burst into giggles.
Alison asked: “What’s he laughing at? I don’t know what he’s laughing at all. Listen, I’ll go onto our next one. I hope that’s helped Debby, I really do.”
Dr Scott added: “I love you and your hamster, I promise!”
Rochelle said: “I’m not sure what’s just happened. I’ve never seen you lose it like that Scott.”
This Morning today
Viewers were divided over the segment, with many criticising Scott and Alison for laughing.

Another wrote: “How utterly disrespectful of the on air vet & @alisonhammond to laugh hysterically at a viewers phone in regarding their pet.”
