what is wrong with roxy?

Question
my hamster roxy is almost 5 years old. she has a swollen belly, and she can barely walk, maybe because of all the weight she has from the lump. her urine has been smelling bad lately. i am really scared. what is wrong with her?

Answer
Hello Amanda,
Roxy may have some type of urinary infection as well as some type of intestinal problems. I would seriously take her to a vet to get looked at and see if she can be treated with antibiotics. She won't get better on her own, and she seems to be really sick.
Good luck and keep me posted.
