Bloody penile plug, and peeing in nest
Hiya,
I have a male Syrian hamster, around 2 years of age. I recently took him to the vet as i was noticing that he was drinking more, peeing more and started bleeding from his private area. On two occasions I have found what seems to be a bloody penile plug. Anyway, vet said he has a bladder infection and gave me some antibiotics. After a week I have already noticed improvement in his drinking and (i thought) peeing.
However, he has now started peeing his nest! He has never done this before and I am wondering if this has anything to do with his infection.Other than the above symptoms he is as lively as ever and shows no lethargy.
Is peeing his bed just old age? Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms in their hamster as well as bed wetting? Is he on his way out?
Any help appreciated.
