So Cupcake is a new hamster to the household, we have a cat and a dog but they leave her alone mostly. Now I've had 3 hamsters before her, when I lived on my own with a roomie, but when I moved out my ex kept them. My other hammies never had wet tail.
We've had Cupcake for a few days now, and her back has suddenly began to look wet, at first I thought she'd let her water bottle drip on her, but it's been wet for two, almost three days now and I'm a little worried. I've heard of wet tail before and the symptoms, but it says the symptoms are a wet tail, not entire backside, or is that what they mean?
This is the best photo of her I could get with the wet back...
ALSO, I purchased the wet tail medication... but I got the kind that directly apply to the ham through a dropper to her mouth, not the water soluble kind, any tricks or techniques to get her to take it?
