Answer
Hello Alycia,
You can go to PetSmart and buy a medicine called Dritail. It's the only thing I know that's over the counter that issupposed to help with wettail.
Good luck and I am glad you don't see price as a way of saying the pet is less valueable. I am glad you care so much about your hamster. :)
