Exclamation My hamster has slight bloody tissue :(

Hi all. I’m new here so please bear with me. My hamster was rescued and is around 2 years old. I noticed a few weeks ago his back legs were starting to struggle. This has happened before and my very said unfortunately it’s due to age. He’s lost a little weight, as I’ve cut his food down (vet recommendation) to maintain a healthy weight. He is struggling and doesn’t use his wheel anymore. He’s eating and drinking as normal, has a nice coat and bright eyes. I checked him today and noticed a tiny bit of blood on a few strands of the paper bedding. He also had faeces stick to his bum it looks like his poo is bigger than normal so I was thinking maybe constipation but this has never happened before. I have a vet appointment in 2 days time but wondered if anyone else have ever had this issue and could help. Everything else is normal and he doesn’t seem to be in pain and is always digging through food and drinking. I was assuming if he was super poorly he wouldn’t be acting normally

Thank you

Sorry to hear that your hamster is not well and that i can't offer any advice. Maybe you could try and bring the vet appointment forward?
Just make sure that everything he needs is within easy reach.

Yeah they don’t have any earlier appointments whatsoever I’ve also now disabled the 2nd/3rd floor due to his arthritic legs so everything he needs is within easy reach ♥️ Thank you for replying x

I hope the vet finds the problem. Hoping for the best.
