hair loss in hamster
Posted on 2008/09/16 by UserHi! We bought a dwarf hamster about a month ago. At the time he had a small bald spot on his back just a bit smaller than a dime. We kept this hamster for about 2 1/2 weeks and during that time he lost quite a bit more hair. The hair loss was kind of in stripes across his back and he was scratching some. The skin was dry and a little bumpy too. There was a few spots that looked scabby like he bled from the scratching. We took him back to the pet store and they inspected him for mites, but did not see any and had never seen hair loss like his. They thought it may be allergies to the bedding, but he lived with non-allergic paper bedding before we got him and had already sta ...

Hamster abscess
Posted on 2008/04/09 by UserHi, my name is Kristin and i have a pet hamster. I realized just yesterday a huge bulge on her shoulder. I looked up things on the internet and it is an abscess. My family cannot afford to go to a vet clinic right now and I called local vet clinics to find out the cost ($47). I may seem little amount of money but my family is going through a bad time right now money wise. I wnat to know is there anything i can do? Could i drain the abscess myself?

Is he okay?
Posted on 2008/02/25 by Rebekah BrennemanMy dwarf hamster seems to be completely healthy except for sometimes when I take him out of his cage, after a while I will notice a small smear of blood on my hand, and around his bottom. Other than that he is, or seems, completely healthy. What could be wrong with him? I don't see how he could be constipated because he has plenty of water.

is this normal?
Posted on 2008/02/22 by Usermy dwarf hamster was walking in my hands when he stopped moving. i poked him, and he appeared to be dead. i quickly put him in his cage and he remained frozen in that position for about 2 minutes. i was going to scoop him out of the wood chips and when i moved the chips near him, he turned his head. i did it again a couple of times, and eventually he moved walked away, and burroughed into the chips. what happened? is this normal? thanks

has he had a fit/stroke
Posted on 2008/01/11 by Userhi my hamster just looked as though he was having a fit, then threw himself over and just lay there. He seemed to cough a couple of times, really making a noise? His Breathing was very slow i called my son down and he opened yhe cage and picked him up, the hamster was very agitated and wrestled out of his hands onto the floor, we say he was dragging his right rear leg a bit. My son picked him up and held him (he tought his eye was bulged and the other one was twitching?)We got a box of bedding to sit him in quietly. After 5 minutes the hamster started washing himself - he is always doing this normally, and then we put hik back in his rotastack. It appeared to all be new, ...
