My hamster is pooping out blood?

Question

She is pooping out blood... A LOT of blood... and she is squirming around while doing this(almost like stretching), in her bed/sleep area.

I'm afraid to touch her or pick her up; there is blood all over her bottom!

I recently went to the vet, and he said she had a kind of stomach infection, and he gave me baytril to give to her everyday for a week...

It's been five days, and she is still having diarreah, though just now i noticed that she started pooping blood.

It's 1 am, so it's too late to go to the vet...

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Your hamster has wet tail, that means it is extremely sick because there was a sudden drop in temperature or you hamster got wet. Please just try to comfort him. I hope he is ok, good luck to all of you. *sigh

Answer 2

im sorry go to the vet maybe

Answer 3

Hi Xx, blood from the a**s can be caused by alot of things. Some good, some bad. Only your vet can tell you for sure so get her to a vet asap or call your local pet emergency center.

Answer 4

After you are done with the meds, wait a day, and it nothing had changed, you should go back to the vet.

Answer 5

Oh, that's horrible! Poor thing. I know when dogs get parvo they have bloody diarrhea, not sure if hamsters can a disease like that. I don't know what else you could do right now if the vets closed. I hate to think of her suffering. I guess all you can do is wait it out tonight. Take her to the vet tomorrow as soon as they open. I hope she turns out ok.

*Oh gosh, if Melissa down below is right please take her in quickly and don't let her suffer. Please leave a note on this about what happened. I'm gonna be thinking about your little critter all day.*

Answer 7

Answer 8

is your vet treating her for "wet tail"? this attacks larger hamsters and is usually attributed to stress. unfortunately, in these situations what you are describing is probably a prolapsed r****m, ( what your mom said she saw) the blood is bright red, right ? your animal is in pain that is why it is squirming and straining and more than likely a vet will put it to sleep, because there is nothing they can do for her. i experienced this when i worked in a pet store and it is disturbing to see. please if you still have your hamster take them to the vet asap and do what is best for the little one. i am sorry that you have to experience this.
