Answer 2

Wet Tail is a disease that is thought to be stress related and often affects young hamsters around the time of weaning, as this can be a stressful time. Therefore it is important when buying a new hamster that its cage is prepared before its arrival home and it is left to become familiar with its new surroundings in peace apart from feeding for a day or two to keep stress to a minimum. It is also thought that Wet Tail can be caused by bad living conditions, etc which could also cause stress.
Wet Tail is a bacterial infection or an imbalance of the natural bacteria in the hamster's stomach or intestine and is often confused with diarrhoea. Although a hamster with Wet Tail has diarrhoea, the diarrhoea is so severe that the hamster is wet and/or dirty not only around the anus but usually around the top of the tail as well. The diarrhoea is accompanied by a strong unpleasant smell. Droppings are pale in colour and extremely soft and may contain mucus. The hamster often walks hunched up, is weak and lethargic and may squeal in pain.
Symptoms take 7 days to appear and the disease is often fatal with death occurring as early as 24 hours after the appearance of the symptoms. Therefore it is vital that veterinary treatment is sought immediately if a hamster shows symptoms of Wet Tail. Do not rely on over-the-counter products such as Dri-Tail to treat Wet Tail as these are often not effective against severe cases of Wet Tail. These should only be used if it is not possible to get the hamster to a vet immediately and veterinary advice should still be sought at the earliest opportunity, but do ensure if you have used any over-the-counter product that you inform your vet when you visit.

Answer 3

The most common cause is Stress. It is an infection. Coming from a pet store that has illness among other animals, too much handling etc. It is contagious. You need to get him to the vet or contact your pet store where you got him for information if they have the meds or not available. One day without drinking and with diarrhea can kill your hamster.

Answer 4

'Wet tail' is a term used to describe diarrhoea of any cause in small mammals, as their tail end tends to become messy and 'wet'.

You need to take your hamster to a vet as soon as possible, as diarrhoea kills rodents very quickly - they're just too small to be able to handle a bacterial infection and the resultant dehydration.

Always take an animal to a vet if you're worried about it.

Answer 5

If she has diarrhea, then a vet check is probably expected. Hamsters are sensitive creatures, and any sign of illness shouldn't be ignored.

Wet tail symptoms:
Signs include lethargy, inappetence, unkempt hair coat, sunken, dull eyes, increased irritability, hunched posture, very fluid diarrhea, and a wet, soiled anal area and tail.

Answer 6

It's called 'wet tail' and you can buy medicine for it at the pet store. It's common, no need to panic. Follow the instructions on the package; it has a guidline for time frame. If it's not resolved after that time frame, then take her to the vet.
