hamster blood found in cage, limping
Tonight, i found one of my hamsters in her cage, while i put some food out for them to eat, she didnt move.i started to touch her, and she does not like to be petted, and she didnt movei moved the watterbottle and put it in my hands to move it to her mouh, and she drakn for more than 2 minutes straight. I picked her up, (i normally just lay my hand ddown and sshe comes on it, but i jus tried to move her, and she didnt do anything) so i scooped her up, and her eyes are normally half closed in the day time, but they were 3/4 of the way closed, she never stays still on my hhand for more than 5 seconds, and she just stayed there for at least 30 seconds, i then looked down and found blood on a piece of bedding, and on her wheel, mixed with pea, her stomach is squishy ( maybe its because she isnt puting weight on one of her legs) and one of her legs are limping.... it also looks like she has a dent in her side ( it looks like a dent, but maye it is jjust me, i never noticed it before) i set thewaterbottle down lower, and she wont eat anything ( but maybe its because she is full) burîght now she iis iin hher cage, i took out her wheel, and she roams around for a few seconds around thecage every hour or so, but she mostly just lays there, not underneath any bedding, she is definatly not herself, i was woondering if anyone knew anything that is wrong with her, and what i can do for the time being until i can call the vet for an appointment, please help me!!!

Re: hamster blood found in cage, limping
Is there any blood on her bottom/vaginal opening? It could be pyometra.
Are you sure she's limping, can you see a problem with any of the legs or paws?
There isn't much you can do but wait for the vet. Maybe offer some baby food or fruit/veg so you know there is something in her stomach and some water as well.
Good luck. I hope she feel better.

Re: hamster blood found in cage, limping
No there iw nothing around the vaginal area, i am guessing the blood came from somewhere else, but i am not sure where and mixed in with the pee on her wheel, i will give her some baby food, and someone else reccommended some bread dipped in soy milk for her, for broken bones

Re: hamster blood found in cage, limping
Thank you for the advice but sadly she passed away from a few strokes, she just stopped breathing, and curled up her little paws and died, I just got done hurrying her in the back yard I R.IP Teddy
