Peter became worried because he noticed Hammy’s behaviour becoming increasingly strange. As a good palaeontologist, he decided to investigate. Peter searched up why this was happening to Hammy and soon found that Hammy’s salt level could be too low which would lead to confusion. Peter talked to his parents about what was happening to Hammy, but all they did was say that they did not want to talk about it or they just shook their heads. His family’s reaction made Peter’s blood run cold. He realised that without his family’s help, it would be one more weight added to his shoulder in terms of finding out what was making Hammy behave that way.
So, Peter decided to go to a doctor to ask for advice. After a blood test, the doctor said that Peter’s thinking was correct in that Hammy’s salt level was indeed too low. The doctor prescribed some salt tablets for Hammy. Very soon, Peter and his family could see that Hammy’s condition was getting much better.
After a month, Peter and his family took Hammy back to the same doctor for a follow-up visit. The doctor reviewed Hammy’s new blood report and said that the salt level was good! Peter and his family also confirmed that she had stopped being scared about her surroundings and stopped calling Peter by his Korean name. Now, Peter could focus on his adventure at the Royal Tyrrell Museum!
