HAMSTER HURT HIS LEG!

Question
He was probably climbing the wire cage and I have the hamster wheel next to the wall of the cage. The wheel is solid but i think when he was climbing he fell and got his leg caught in between the wheel and wire of the cage because the wheel is like right next to the wire. Its like getting your leg caught between the back of a desk and the wall.When i got him out he wasnt bleeding but he was limping. I examined it more carefully and saw his leg was alittle black. I'm not sure if its dried blood or the blood clotted. I tried cleaning it and he didnt seem to be in pain and the q tip turned black but some of it didnt come off. He can walk but he just drags the leg. I also noticed a spot with no fur which is where the leg was caught. Is he going to be disabled for ever? ...this is all my fault. Someone please tell me what i can do! :'[

Answer
Hello Winnie,
more than likely it's a broken leg and no it's not your fault. You didn't break the hamsters leg. The best thing you can do is to take out the wheel as you don't want him working on it. I'd call a vet and talk to them and see if you can bring your hamster in. You want to make sure that the hamsters bedding is soft and try your best to make everything close to the hamster.
