Roborovski Hamster Had Stroke: Any tips?
I have a 1 year old roborovski hamster named Marmalade, and he had a stroke 4 days ago. My family and I have been hand feeding him and giving him water, and he seems to be doing okay. The issue is his right side of his body is paralyzed.
He is usually a very clean hamster, but he is forced to poop and pee on himself. I have tried using a slightly damp washcloth, but the pee turns into crust and sticks to his fur. I know it isn't good to bathe them, it's just he's miserable. I've tried sandbaths, which I always keep in his cage but it just isn't working.
Does anybody have any tips? I would happily take any advice at the moment.
