Ok I apologies for not being on for so long, thing is we only using one laptop between us four pffttt. im barely on.
I dont know if you remember we got lucky. We still got him but im afraid there something wrong now.
I just wanna get some idea before i fork out a fortune at the vet.
Lucky will be two years old in February. He had been fabulous hamster. but now i got some concerned about him about last summer had had lost furs but he grew them back whether that was so hot weathers or rubbing them against the cage but he was fine himself no problem he grew all his furs back.
Now tonight we heard got him out i have notice that he look sleepy while drinking, he drinking hell of lots of waters, erm also he got on his face around the eyes look like it redness / soreness his furs is all scruffy not like nice shining coat i dont know if this is the sign of old age or is there some treatment that i could buy. I really dont want to take him to the vet for fear of stressing him out and it is bit of drive .
he is eating and drinking but he hadnt been on the wheel like he normally does.
last week he was going mad crazy and now he seem so calm and gentle.
I hope u can help???
Is there any way you could post a picture of what this soreness looks like?
It could just be him aging, my oldest hamster often sleepily wakes up for a drink and then go back to bed. If your hamster has long hair especially, he will lose it with age! My hamster is a LH but is more a cute furry scruffball than a LH now
It is very likely at 2 years old that you are seeing signs of aging. But the fact that he is drinking so much water could be something else like Cushing's disease. Only a vet could actually tell you for sure. I'd go for the vet. Hope Lucky's okay.
ok tonight he came out had lots of drink and food done a wee but i manage to get him to come out of the cage and i had a stroke his fur seem raggy he got big black spot on his back which i have never seen before also i try to look for mites but i cant seem to find it
but i turn him over gently and feel him all over underneath of him from the neck downward it seem tiny little lumpy spot on him well i can feel it, also seem little bit red....poor little guy
Im going to take him to vet problem is i got one close to my kids school but dont know what the cost is and there is another one which is at pets at home which i really want I
sorry not be able to post as i have left the phone downstairs didnt wanna stress him too much
hopefully i will take it tomorrow again but tomorrow am gonna contact the vet and see what i can do for lucky.
thanks for posting
What do I do??? syrian hamster
