First of all, dry her off; hamsters hate being wet. Then clean any wet bedding out of the cage and keep the hamster warm for a while.
They can get sick quick when they are cold and wet, so take care of that and your hamster should be okay. Of course, if things don't get better, try getting her to a vet.

Hi,
Hamsters get a disease called Wet Tail. It causes a really clear wet diarrhea that makes their rear end, stomach and face wet. You need to take the hamster to the vet immediately for medication and then keep the hamster warm and in a quiet location until she is better. If she is not treated...most die within 24 hours. It is a very common disease with hamsters. Good luck...I really hope she gets better.

Dry her off and put her some where warm and see if she perks up.
She may have got damp and cooled off very quickly. Clean the cage out and replace the water bottle at once. If she doesn't perk up very quickly a trip to the vets might be needed.

Please do in no way attempt to mate a hamster. There are literally thousands and thousands of undesirable ones obtainable in the international and merely because of the fact somebody thinks this is cool to observe it does not warrant you the ideal to make a gaggle of animals go through. If this is the only reason your thinking approximately getting them then do no longer. Your needless to say no longer in charge sufficient to handle them. As i've got mentioned before; hamsters are not toys. they at the instant are not play issues to your amusement. they're animals and deserve the comparable understand as your cat or canine and if your keen to reproduce a hamster pass forward and breed your cat or canine. Oh wait; it replace into probable neutered so as that it could no longer to ward off a flood of undesirable animals into the international. do in no way ever ever ever ever attempt to reproduce an animal. you may desire to depart that to the approved specialists. it is why they're approved and for this reason they're specialists. because of the fact thay be attentive to the thank you to handle them and that they are able to finding properties for them before they have even been born. in case you haven't any longer even owned a hamster yet then you certainly shouldn't. And if the 1st element your going to ask is approximately in spite of if or no longer they'll kill one yet another as quickly as they breed then you certainly could desire to never get one.

WET TAIL it will kill your hamster!
Go to the store right now, get oh I think I gave mine cater oil (stuff to make a person go poddy) and with a eye dropper MAKE her eat this!!
Go do it now, she will die within 24 hours!
Wet tail is when usually a water bottle is leaking and the cage gets wet. It does kill hamsters! Hamsters can not be in a wet invironment....Anyhoo it makes a hamster so they can not go to the bathroom! Very painful way to die!
Bred the standard hamsters for YEARS, and mini's for a couple years.....Go get that stuff now! Remember MAKE your hamster eat it! Usually at this point your hamster is almost dead so you will have to put it in her mouth, be careful of her nose so she can breath...she will take it in...

This happened to my hamsters they all died. We did take one to the vet and there really isn't much they can do for hamsters when they are sick and dying. There are some medicines you can buy and vitamin supplements you can get in the petstore inexpensively if it doesn't die right away that may help.

I had a guniea pig a few months ago and mine got sick all of a sudden. He died a few days later. I later learned that these type of pets are called "pocket pets" and they have to have lots of vitamins, especially vitamin C. Vitamins are in their food, but u have to buy the vitamin c drops and put in their water daily. When my guniea pig was sick the symptoms he had was faint breathing, not moving too much and he couldnt stand up without falling over. So if you can go and get vitamin c drops and maybe you will be able to save him, but I strongly recommend taking him to a vet. Good luck!!

Aww, sorry your little hamster is ill, I would call a vet for sure. Hamsters cannot stand to be damp, they have short life spans and are delicate little creatures....Good Luck!

Maybe you should take your hamster to the vet and have them check her up. I hope she doesn't die. My friend experienced something like that as well..

It is most probably nothing, that happens to alot of hamsters and none of them have turned out to die because of them.
