is there no cure for wet tail? wet tail causes by diarrhea right?

Wet Tail is a fatal disease. Even if you bring it to a vet, the chances it will survive is just 50%. Hammies suffering this disease can die in about 48 hours or less.

Wet tail disease can be transmitted from 1 hammie to the other, so you must be careful when you buy a hamster. If you see one hamster in the place you buy have wet tail, most likely all of them are already infected. The bacteria causing this can even be transferred to your other pets if you are not careful. But it can't be transmitted to humans.

if your hamster has wet tail, it will look like the tail is covered by brown liquid. They also may refuse to eat and then sleep all the time. Also will have severe diarrhea. Those very serious case maybe will have breathing problems.

The only thing we can do is early detection, and hurry to bring it to a vet. Then pray and hope it can get better.

how ur robo?
any sign he come 2 eat?

as i was reading this thread, i saw my hamster walked pass by room door....when he saw me, he straight u-turn n ran away...

huh?
your hamster escaped eh?

btw, using hay as bedding only is not so good coz the absorbency is not very good. but if mix it with wood shaving bedding or breeder celect, it is ok i think.

so many escape hamster

They'll only come to you when they're hungry.That's the way with most animals isn't it?

Good look to you in locating your hamster too. It must be the season when hamsters need to escape and have a gathering.

Escaped hamsters is the new accessories.

My hammie ain't that scare already now, she let me touch her back when she is eating, and i saw her putting bedding in her mouth and move up into the bowl inside the cage to make her nest, i guess it's hot inside the hole since there is a fan blowing directly into the ventilation holes of my ovo... I still thought she is eating the bedding in the start

hey does anyone know whether brussel sprouts are ok for hamsters?

i see i see, i thought it was just common disease. sounds real horrible there..

thanks for the explanation.

kindly vote for the bedding poll in the petwonderland page~

I found that the syrians have the best temperament among the rest, is that true??

I'm seeking for clarification, but from my experience, they are more bitey than my rc.

i have 2 syrians, they never bite me.. i put my finger on their mouth also dont bite. i tickle their tummy also dont bite

It depend for the hammy i guess.

MY pudding rarely bite now because damn lazy want to bite finger.(Last time bite me & my dad finger so many times)

My saphire bite me sometimes,but taste bite only lar

My sibling Pearl never bite me until now,instead they run onto my palm.xD
