Exclamation Fur loss behind ears

:confused::confused::confused:Hi I'm sorry i need urgent help My hamster has fur loss behind its ear. Its like a patch behind its ear and its reddened. I also saw some clear liquid come out of it. My hamster is 4 months old and it has wood houses and i think its cause by mites. But i really don't know what it is and i don't know what to do. Please help!

Hello and welcome to HC!

My advice is to take your hamster to a hamster knowledgable vet to have him/her checked out and treated if needed.

I agree with Ria, especially since you say there’s redness and clear liquid being let out. I’d advice for now if you have any spare plastic homes to remove the wooden ones and replace with plastic. I’m pretty sure mites for hamsters can only be treated by vets anyway, there’s no over-the-counter medication to treat them. If this is your suspicion a vet is definitely needed.
