Hamster trouble. HELP!!!

[ChocoMintAnswersSincere]

Hi!

I was refilling Wasabi's bottle and I heard her make a really loud "hew!" sound. I lifted her house and when I put it back down she made the noise again so I took the bedding she stuffed the entrance with out and replaced it with tissue and she stopped making noises. I made sure to listen for the noise but she didn't make it again so I'm slightly confused as to whether or not I'm supposed to be worried.

Also, she's been drinking less water now and her pee is coming out in thick white-ish yellow clumps. I noticed because I was moving her toys around and giving her new chews when she used the bathroom on a piece of tissue. (She put the shredded tissue I gave her in her pee corner. I also don't know why.)

And last but not least, she hasn't been eating as much as she used to. Yesterday she just stopped eating. She eats sunflower seeds and dried peas but won't eat the pellets, melon seeds (which she usually LOVES), carrot sticks, peanut pieces, or other little seeds. She doesn't really eat the rest but I don't know the name of the other food pieces. Is there a reason?

Take her to the vet for checking. Any abnormal behavior can indicate illness and she has 4 you have identified in your post, squawking at you, thick discharge, drinking less, not eating.
These are all things that can happen when she might be ill. The discharge is especially concerning as it may indicate a womb infection.
Check her bottle is working well and that she does not have a bad smell about her. Thick opaque urine is normal for hamsters but a profuse discharge is not.
If you sense she is not right then a vet visit is a must to set your mind at rest.

I'd definitely take her to the vet asap if it were me.

the things you listed comined are alarming to me. please take her to the vet as soon as you can! since you dont know exactly whats wrong you have no idea how much time you might have left to take action

As the others have said a vet visit should be most imminent, also as she may be getting dehydrated, try her with some cucumber, failing that if you can drip a tiny amount of water in her mouth that will be a benefit, even just moistening the area of her lips will help.

I agree with the others.

The vet said she's ok and nothings wrong with her. Now what? She started acting more normal But she doesn't drink a lot and she sleeps way more. What now?

Glad the vet gave her the all clear and she is acting more like herself.

How old is she? Perhaps she is just getting older and therefore altering her habits. Plus, it is summer. The days are shorter during summer so hamsters tend to sleep more and because it is hotter drink more.

She will be one in August I think. I got her in March from a lady who was just selling hamsters because hers had babies and she couldn't care for them all. When I bought Wasabi the lady said she was about 8 months old. So we're guessing her b-day's in august.

So she's near 1.

Hamsters don't drink a lot, does she get vegetables? She would get fluids from them. Maybe put a piece of apple in her cage for her to nibble on.
