chinese dwarf hamster sick??

Question
My Chinese dwarf hamster has cuts and bites on her from another hamster That I got for her.  When I saw her cuts, I took the other hamster out of the cage immediately. But even after a few days, the hamster was not cured, and I noticed that her stomach was damp. I think the moisture is coming from her mouth (there was a cut on the side of her mouth). Also three of her feet are reddish, and a little bit swollen.  I am very concerned.  If you have any suggestions, I would greatly  appreciate it.  Thank You

Answer
Dear Andrea, my only suggestion would be to get your little guy to the vet, quickly. The sooner the vet looks at her, the faster she can get medicine, and be on her way to recovery. I am only suggesting a vet, because I don't think anything but medicine will help.
Hope this helps you, and good luck!
sincerely,
Sarah
