is my hamster sick???

Question
my hamster ( star ) will be 1 on the 13th january 2005.
i picked her up this afternoon and noticed her bum/female parts were wet and i was very smelly.
i noticed it because it look a kind of browny orange colour but that might be cause she is orange and white.
she is a syrian hamster and i love her to bits.

Answer
Yes, I think your hamster has wet-tail.  With wet-tail the hamsters tail, anal area, and belly are damp or soiled with excrements.  Take your hamster to a vet immediately.  The vet will prescribe an antibiotic to be given in the drinking water.
     Hope this helps and Star gets better soon!
