What's wrong with my little boy's dwarf hamster?

Question

She doesn't seem to be able to use the back half of her body but when I tickle her back legs she twitches them? She's been like this since Saturday morning (8/16/08). Could she be in labor? I don't know much about dwarf hamsters?

Answer 1

Dwarves usually don't get wettail. If her stomach is bulgy then she could be in labor. My best bet is she hurt herself and might've parlazyed half her body. Take her to the vet asap.

Answer 2

Maybe you should take her to Petco or the vet so they can check her out (:

Answer 3

She may have a disease or sickness. check this site out:

Answer 4

I'm no expert, but it could be wettail. Go to the vets and get her checked out.
