Hey everyone,
my hamster, Berta, has been scratching herself a lot lately. She had diarrhea last week, and I got something from the vet to cure it, and it's 95% gone now
(her feces are still a bit moist). She sleeps more, than she used to, and not in her little house anymore, so i think she has heat stress, since my room becomes quite hot in the morning. But the point is, that she's scratching herself, and it's with her backlegs, so she's not cleaning herself. I checked her fur, and in some places it's a bit red, and in other places it's white, and there is small black dots on her skin (not everywhere but more like some here and there). I don't know if it's mites or what color her skin should be. Please help:-k.
