Re: Need help with identify my hamsters's species!
Really toast? Anyways I already ordered medicine from a website and I think it is going to come in 2 or 3 days. Lizzy is still so active, running on the wheels and climbing up and down... I am kind of relief now but still really worried about Lizzy...

Re: Need help with identify my hamsters's species!
I am not sure how can I identify that... Do you touch it? Or what? Oh today...she slowed down...she don't really run that fast anymore and kind of slow today...that is a bad sign right? Anyways I think the medicine will arrive soon.

Re: Need help with identify my hamsters's species!
Do you not have a vet you can see with her shiru?
Dwarf hamsters do not get wet tail only syrians however she could still have a tummy upset or an infection. I would not use medicines bought online to be honest as you really do not know what they contain. I know things may be different in your country and that vet care may not be available to you so you can really only try your best.
If lizzy is acting oddly and being very lethargic and slow this is not a good sign.
Keep her warm but not hot and make sure she is getting water. It she passing a lot of urine? Only a vet can tell what is the matter. Feed Lizzy her dry mix for now and let her sleep. Keep her calm and quiet and hopefully she will recover.
Wet tail is a name give to diarrhoea in a hamster and you can look underneath and see if she is messy and dirty with faeces. This is serious in a small animal as it means they lose fluids and quickly get very ill.

Re: Need help with identify my hamsters's species!
Just wanted to say good luck with your hamster. It is very sad that there aren't any vet where you live. Unfortunately hamsters or in fact any animals need to be seen by vet when they get ill. In fact in the Uk we take our pets to vet to be vaccinated and for check up even they aren't ill! Hope you country will get there soon!
For all you can do now is ask for advice from experienced people here and pray for your hamster to survive the ordeal.
