Dwarf hybrid Bloody Aspen

[Mikey_Imagine]

Hey guys i desperately need your help. I cam home from school today to look at my hamster's cage. She is a female dwarf hybrid. I noticed she was sleeping outside her hut and there were dry blood on the bedding in some places! it makes the aspen look light red. What should I do? Is this just her period? she isn't and skittish as normal either and wont eat her favorite treat, Sunflower seeds! I don't know a vet nor do we have the money for one! i tried to get a look at her but I cannot pick her up due to biting. It seemed her moth was a bit red on the inside but again its hard to get a look. What should I do?

Hamsters don't have periods, so that's definitely not it.

How much blood was there? A lot or just a couple specks?

there was about 5 places where it ws. it covers about 1-2 aspen shavings which arnt very big.

See if you can get her to climb into a hamster ball or glass jar so you can get a good look at her entire body. See if there's any specs of blood on her rear, around her lady parts, on her paws or face and look for any injuries.

Sometimes a hamster might get a small nick from one of its toys or something, and a few drops of blood will be found, but these small cuts generally heal very quickly. If you see any sign of blood coming from her nose, mouth, bum, or genitals she needs to see a vet.

Got her yo flip over and it was alot of blood by her lady parts what can this be Im going to try to get a vet right away but i just need a small answer

Without seeing her myself, I don't know, it could be any number of things: a cut, an infection, a burst abcess or cyst. Pyometra is the most common uterine problem in Syrians, but is very very rare in dwarfs, and isn't usually bloody.

Is there any chance at all that she is pregnant?

Something is coming out of her! it looks like a long stick, really red but dosent look like hamster kinds. I bought her over 1 month ago could she be having kids?

If it's been over a month it's not pups. I think you need to see a vet, immediately.

All vets are closed where im at and If its something bad shes not going to make it till morning. This is a very sad moment that i don't know what could have caused it... I feel like a bad owner.

Is there any fluffy bedding in her cage? or has she eaten anything weird lately? You might be describing an impaction.

Here's an older thread where a robo hamster had a serious impaction from ingesting fluffy bedding.
