Symptoms & What To Do
1. Bite wounds - Sores, lacerations, red or irritated areas, or infection
If possible, try to cleanse the wounds with a tiny amount of hydrogen peroxide. Keep the wound clean. Otherwise, see a vet.
2. Cheek pouch problems - Pouches are swollen and painful when touched.
Check inside mouth and try to remove any objects. This is quite difficult so consult a vet.
Be sure the pouches actually have problems before taking the animal to the vet. Lots of hamsters always overstuff their pouches.
3. Diarrhea - Liquid feces, wet around rear end.
Try to rehydrate the hamster by offering more water. But, you must contact a vet. This is probably wet tail and you will need medication immediately.
4. Ear Problems - Scratching and digging in ears
Ask a vet. It could be mites or possibly, disease.
5. Stomach Problems - Loss of weight, lack of appetite, diarrhea, or sits in a hunched over position.
Isolate and rehydrate. Take away all green foods. If problem persists, take to the vet.
6. Heatstroke - The hamster appears dead or comatose and is weak and unresponsive.
^(place them in a 60-90 degree temperature to prevent this, i read about it somewhere before)
Take to a cool room, and while holding in hand, set the hamster into cool water.
Keep the head above water. Carefully and completely dry the hamster. Make sure you keep them out of drafts! As soon as they are conscious, rehydrate.
7. Nails - Nails tear or bleed because of the excessive length.
Trim the tips of the nails down to the quick with baby nail clippers or take your hamster to the vet and ask them to do it.
8. Breathing difficulties - Sneezing, difficulty breathing and wheezing
First, what kind of bedding are you using? If it is cedar, remove it immediately!! Otherwise, get your hamster to the vet quickly.
