Hi everyone, me and my wife took my boy Potato (male Syrian hamster 10 months old) to the vet 3 days ago and the vet concluded that my boy got wet tail and there is very little chance that he can survive... She gave him some anti biotic and asked to see him everyday to give antibiotic through injection.

My guy is still fighting everyday and we tried our best to keep him from losing weight buy trying to syringe feed him with oats porridge every three hours in the evening. So far he hasn't lost further weight but we are worried if we are disturbing him way too much as he also got 1 hour car ride everyday to see the vet...

We have done a lot of reading on internet and some said we should not disturb him but some also said we must not leave him dehydrated. He has eaten very little except from the porridge that we syringe fed him every few hours.

Has anyone treated your babies with wet tail before and would you mind sharing your experience with me please? My boy is way too precious for us and we will do everything we can to help him with a fighting chance.
