Default Dried blood on hamster's tail

Description of Ailment:
I noticed what seems to be dried blood spots in the cage, checked my hamster and saw that its tail had dried blood on it. Should I be worried and bring him to the vet? Or should I monitor to see if there are any new additional blood stains before doing so? I'm just hoping he accidentally bit his tail until it bled.

His behavior and eating habits are normal, no changes so far.

Default Re: Dried blood on hamster's tail

Hi,

I would definitely get him taken to a vets ASAP. Hamsters are prey animals so they may act normal but really be in pain and hiding it.

Especially with blood I wouldn’t mess around, as it could be something really bad. Hopefully it’s nothing major but from your pictures something has clearly gone wrong and requires a vet as soon and possible
