Is my hampster dying?

Question
I have just noticed that my 2 yr old hampster has wrinkles and sores on her, and when i went to pick her up , she has awet bottom with poop on her. Does she have wet tail, mites or is she just old and dying? Or should i take her to the vet?
Thank you...Linda

Answer
hi linda

yes your hamster does have wet tail and if you leave it much longer she will die from this.

she needs to see a vet right away and when u pick her up you must wash your hands before and after you do so.

but remember take her to the vet IMMEDIATELY.

thank you for your question and please let me know how you get on.
