Whats Wrong!

Question
Hi, my hamster is white and fluffy and he has red eyes. My hamster has a red, bloody ,long thing coming from out of his bottom hole. What's wrong? Is he going to die?

Answer
Hello Jenelle,
oh my goodness, I don't know how to tell you this but your hamster has a collapsed rectum and what you are seeing is his intestine and there is nothing that can be done about it because hamsters are so small that you can't really operate on them. I'm afraid you would have to take your hamster to a vet to get them put down to sleep. It's very painful to hamsters and I know I am sounding mean and blunt, but I don't know how else to tell you what he has. I am so sorry though. Keep me updated on things.
