Limp and blood nose!!

My hamster has hurt her paw and is limping. Also, there dries blood by her nose, it is not much. Does this have anything to do with her possibly being pregnant or is it something else?

Pregnancy shouldn't cause injuries, has she been climbing her cage bars or toys? It would also help to know what species she is, her age, and whether she has any cagemates.

I would guess the blood on her nose is from her paw when she has tried to clean herself. How badly is the paw injured? It would be a good idea to check in with a vet if its even close to serious.

Her paw isn't pierced anywhere she just doesn't put pressure on it. She has no cage mates and is in a glass cage. She is a golden hamster and is 2 months old.

What kind and size of a wheel does she have? Is it possible she caught it while running?

Sounds like it was her paw that was hurt if she won't stand on it. Could be it was injured during a fall. If she is otherwise well maybe give her 24 hrs. if you don't see an improvement maybe take her for a check-up. Or if she gets worse take her as soon as.
Hope she is ok. x
