Hamster Help

[Amorti]

Okay, so I woke up this morning and my hamster, Rosie, was acting a bit strange. For one thing, she is usually asleep when I wake up, but today she was up and about. At first I though nothing of it, so a have her her daily yogie and left for a bit.

When I came back she was still acting a bit off. Just more jittery than normal, ya know?
So I took her out and checked her over. Everything was fine, but then I saw something around her mouth that I didn't notice before because of her fur-color.

She had dried blood around her mouth and on her nose.

Unless she is sneaking out at night and eating people, there is something wrong with the inside of her mouth.

I changed her bedding and cleaned her cage pretty well after that. I tried wiping her mouth but eventually I had to let her do that herself.

She currently getting her new bedding move around the way she likes it.

What else should I do?

((Sorry if this is a bit rant-y, I'm just really worried about her))

Take her to the vet immediately!

She may have wet tail, how old is she? Bleeding on the outside may mean bleeding on the inside also, she need's a vet quickly. If you think it's from her chewing on the bars or having too many treats in her pouch, take her out of the cage and give her soft food's and water. Did you use any chemicals or cleaning products she could have accessed?

She is 1 year of age.

I use natural disinfectant to clean her cage and she eats a dry food mix of hay, seeds, and corn.

I couldn't find any cuts on the outside and she seems to be fine now, but I'm not sure.

It would probably be best to notify a vet, at least call your local clinic just to be certain. Glad she is feeling better though!
