As some of you will already know Conker hasn't been in the best of health. Last night when she came out I noticed that she has lost quite a bit of fur off her back leg on the right hand side.
I haven't noticed her scratching or washing in excess, she is active, climbing and darting about, her eyes are looking bright. She is eating and drinking and I had a rake around this morning in her house and she is weeing and pooing. This morning I have changed water and food.
She is still occassionally coughing and I am wondering whether this is a reaction to the medication she was previously taking. I have now stopped it and she hasn't had any for this past week.
The only change in her cage has been the use of carefresh for the floor and toilet roll for bedding. I weighed her this morning and she is 125g - her weight hasn't changed since she was weighed at the vets on the 18 August.
The only other change in the house has been the addition of Fuzee Fi. Could she be upseting Conker?
Can anyone help. I have got an appointment at the vets today at 3pm just to get her checked. Has anyone seen this before, is there anything I can give her in her diet to help her. I have never had a hamster lose fur before and its quite worrying....I think.
