My mom got a hamster saturday. Today(monday) I realized signs of potential wettail. How can I be sure it's wettail? What can I do to save my fluffbaby if it is? MSN IM me at emo_kid_lieche@hotmail.com if you can help, as I'll be searching for answers elsewhere as well as here. Thanks!

Its very deadly!!! I dont know exactly what to do, but when mine had it I was constantly rubbing and keeping him warm with a towel but not hard or you'll squish it. Just keep it warm and pray and hope!!!! Where did you get it?

HOPE IT HELPS!!!! ACT FAST!!!

Ok, I just came to check on her and there was white stuff in her half shut eyes, she was cold, and barely alive. WHAT DO I DO?! I can't afford to take her to a vet, as much as she needs it.

KEEP HER WARM AND JUST PRAY AND HOPE!!!!!!!!!! AND CLEAN HER EYES!

I've syringe-fed her electrolyte formula mixed with water for quite a while now. My mom read something somewhere that said a bit of human diarrhea aid was good(1 ml, I thought that was a bit much, but hey...) so she's had that as well. She attempted walking and cleaning, but she just totters around, falls over and curls up again.):

poor baby...

):
She died.

I'm so sad to hear that, where did you get her at??

We got her at a local pet store, not like petsmart. Just a little local place.

oooo....When I had some I got 2 from a friend who bred hammys and one from a shop

Yeah. Well our small town just got a pet store, so we tried them out. I don't know if we'll buy from them again.
