Hello.
I just bought a Hamster over the weekend on Saturday. I think she's suffering from Proliferative Ileitis Wet Tail. When I got her, she was ok and running around her cage and running a lot in her wheel. One day, late Sunday, she just went to sleep and has been sleeping ever since. On Monday when I woke her, she had like a yellow slimy wet stuff near her pee area. She also doesn't eat or drink. I make her drink a little bit here and there because I read they can die from dehydration in 2-3 days and I just got her so she's about 3 weeks old I think. I'm up 'til past 3am so I know she's sleeping even at night. Today she just seems really out of it. I'm worried about her.
Anyhow, if it is Proliferative Ileitis Wet Tail that she has, how long is she going to be in this phase? And is there anything else I can do for her?

Update:
Well, I hate this say this but my Hamster Holly is pretty much a goner. I put her in the bedroom where it's quiet. When I went in there to check on her and she was laying on her side and she was not moving. I went to pick her up and she made this weird noise and that's when I noticed that her body tightens up and shakes. She can't walk or stand anymore. It's passed 4am so I don't know what else I can do for her right now.

Bla, she's gone :cry:
