Hamster Help?

Question

my hamster feels cold,she walks leaning on her left and has fast heart beat. any of you guys have an idea what illness it is? pls. i need USEFUL answers

Answer 1

Has she been dropped? Or fell? Is she wet anywhere, mostly around her tail?
If she has been dropped could have inside problems. Only thing I could tell you to do is take her to doctors. If she is wet down by the tail go get some caster oil and make her eat this, she will get better if you caught it in time. This is where they can not go to the bathroom.
Her equal Librium is messed up, maybe something in her ear?
Hope this helps?

Answer 2

Look in your local phone book for a vet that cares for small animals. You might even be able to just ask someone at the pet store.
Could be anything, we have 3 rats and the employees at PETCO have been able to answer every question we've had so far.
Make sure the cage isn't near a drafty window, the leaning makes me think of an ear infection.

Answer 3

i have a lot of customers come into my store with similar problems. Wet tail is diarrhea, it's caused by stress and it IS fatal in rodents. It can be treated easily over the counter if this is the case. The tail will be literally wet. Her bedding should be made from recycled paper or aspen shavings. Absolutely NO cedar or pine. If you are using one of the two, your local pet store should carry an OTC respiratory treatment that can be used directly on the nose or added to a vaporizer in the room. I'd definitely see my veterinarian.
