my poor little Rolo (10 month old syrian hamster) has been a bit off colour for the past few days, and has been very quiet for 2 nights. I didn't see her at all last night, and when she came out of her bed for a drink this morning her abdomen was very bloated and she was wet all around her back end

she didn't look like this 2 nights ago but now I am feeling really guilty thinking that I should have noticed something sooner.
I took her in today and at best she has wet tail, which isn't good in itself. Worst case scenario is she could have pyometra (womb infection) or a tumour which is leaking fluid or blood into her abdomen, both of which we will be unable to treat sucessfully

We are treating her for wet tail with antibiotics and I'm giving her subcutaneous fluids every so often for her dehydration but she seems to be fading away despite this

I know she's only a hamster but she's my little girl and is still special to me. I'm going to give her another 24 - 48 hours to see how she responds to treatment before I make any decisions, unless she dramatically turns in the meantime.
Please keep your fingers crossed for my little girl, I'm just praying she pulls through!
