Answer
Hi Desiree

Blood or pus coming from the rear end of a hamster should be investigated.  Females can get various infections which cause a discharge and can be extremely painful for them.  These needs to be treated urgently with antibiotics. In these cases, without treatment the hamster can deteriorate quite rapidly.  How is she in herself?  Is she bright or sitting hunched up?

Is it possible for you to get her to a vet as soon as possible?  It would be worth doing this as they will be able to confirm if this is an infection and if so start the treatment immediately.

I hope you get on OK.

Regards
