Wet tail.

Question
I wrote you before and told you that I thought my hamster may have wet tail.  Well it has been three days since I noticed the wet bottom and now it seems to be clearing up a bit but she is still sleeping more than I would think she should be.  She is still eating and hiding her food and drinking. But I have not noticed any droppings in her cage since I changed it yesterday.  What do you think is wrong with her?

Answer
Hi Mandy

I did answer this question but I think my reply must have got lost somewhere along the line and it has come back again.  How is your hamster now?  Has there been any change since you last wrote?

If you want to let me have an update I'll be pleased to try and help you.

Regards
