Question
i have a hamster i just bought about 6 days ago at the local pet store, and today when i got home from work i noticed it had a cut on its chin,she was limping, and she was wet at her bottom, she seems very scared and i dont know wat to do, i dont want her to die!!

Answer
you may have two options. See if you can take the hamster back to the pet store if your hamster is still under their warrenty or take your hamster to a vet because it has wettail which is a bacterial infection and should go to a vet asap so she can get better.
