Hi there. My problem is this.

Last week, I got a new hamster. He's a Male Syrian and my little sister called him Chrunchie.

Last Night. My Mum noticed something Odd about Chrunchie. He wouldn't open his eyes and his bum was all swollen. I don't know what is wrong but my mum has taken him to the vet at pet at hom just to check. He was fine yesterday morning and throughout the day. We just started seeing these signs last night.

Any help please

Also he's about 7 weeks old now

Oh my, what did the vet say?

 

[Crunchie2011]

The "Vet" Still hasn't called. He said that he'd keep Crunchie in his care just to check on him and everything and then he'd call. But alas... Still no word yet

Good News.

The t rang up this morning saying that Crunchie had Wet Tail. He's fine now and the Vet has put him on Antibiotics and ill hae to keep him for a few more days but he is vastly improving. I've researched Wet Tail and everything adds up. The syptoms everything. But I'm glad Crunchie is fine. I have a few pics and will hopeflly be up on these forums soon.

Love, Hugs and Hamsters x

Excellent news. I am new to syrian hamsters as well, So i'm on the lookout for anything abnormal.

 

[Crunchie2011]

Thanks tinypixiexoxo I've Syrian Hamsters before so know how to handle them. I just didn't know how to deal with a Hamster with Wet Tail

 

[tinypixiexoxo]

Oh lol sorry, why did I assume you were new to them?

Anyway, yay for Crunchie! Do you have any pics?

 

[Crunchie2011]

Yeah I have a few. Will put them up tomorrow

 

[Crunchie2011]

Sorry to say that Crunchie had to be put down today. The Vets thought he was recovering but when they checked him again. They said he wasn't so had to put him to sleep.
R.I.P Crunchie. You Shall Be Missed :'(

oh my goodness how sudden... :/

My favorite baby girl Jigglypuff died yesterday due to diabetes complications, so I feel for ya, and know what it's like.

rip Crunchie.

 

[Crunchie2011]

Thank You Tiny and I'm sorry for Jigglypuff. But the Vet said that they can replace our hamster for free with a free cage and everything. as we only had him for 5 days. So we have a new Male Syrian "Dark Chocolate Colour) But we haven't really decided on a name for it yet. My sisters want to call it Cookie
RIP Jigglypuff

Thank you you are sweet.

A new hammy! You are so lucky! And dark chocolate awwwww <3 <3

Its probably a sable and Tiny Sadi is too old for wet tail so dont worry about that Tumors and respiratory problems are the main issues with syrians her age

Our new Hamster has been called Pepsi now
