Hamsters have wet tail disease.
Hamsters are most afraid of diarrhea. Once the wet tail is serious, basically I have seen so many, and few can survive.
If your home is not serious, stop water supply directly, never water supply, and stop fruits and vegetables.
Dry the wet place with something and let it bask in the sun for a while. My mouse has met it, too
Wet tail is a gastrointestinal disease caused by fungi. The symptoms are severe diarrhea, strange smell, messy hair, slow movement and hard to open your eyes. Is it like being sick? Stomach swelling and dehydration. One way to check dehydration is to gently pinch the skin behind the hamster's neck. If the pinched skin is standing, press it down slowly, indicating dehydration symptoms. If their teeth are white, it also means dehydration.
Causes and symptoms
It is called wet tail disease in Japan, and its official name is infectious ileitis. Because the tail will get wet, it is called wet tail disease. At present, clinical diagnosis is very difficult, because bacterial enteritis, parasitic enteritis and fungal enteritis can all occur, especially in young rats 3~5 weeks after birth.
therapeutic method
Early detection and early treatment, because the mortality rate is high. Another netizen provided the following remedies, but the curative effect is unknown. Levodox has antipyretic effect in principle, but long-term use of TC, tetracycline itself, will cause serious hepatorenal toxicity (especially nephrotoxicity) to rats and mice. If the dosage is added to drinking water, 3MG/ML a week, the dosage is insufficient, and it is easy to produce drug resistance symptoms.

Wet tail disease is a serious intestinal disease of young hamsters, which often leads to death. It is called this name because its main symptom is diarrhea, which often affects the hamster's tail and makes it wet and dirty. Wet tail disease is caused by a bacterium called Lawsonia intracellularis, and it can also occur in pigs, horses, dogs, ferrets, primates and other animals. This disease is not contagious to people. Wet tail disease is common in hamsters during feeding (about 3-6 weeks), but hamsters may get it at any stage. Hamsters sold in pet shops are usually constantly milked, so wet tail disease often occurs at the early stage of hamster purchase. All kinds of hamsters will get wet tail disease, but the long-haired "teddy bear" hamster is the easiest to get. Q: What are the symptoms of wet tail? A: Hamsters with wet tails usually lose their appetite lazily and even stop cleaning themselves. Their diarrhea is very serious, and the dry and wet hairs around the anus and tail are intertwined. Diarrhea dehydrates them, so their eyes may be dull and sunken. They may squat, their backs swell, and become irritable because of abdominal discomfort. In some serious cases, blood and diarrhea can even be seen near their anus, and the rectum may also protrude from the anus due to excessive tension. Wet tail disease is a very serious disease, and hamsters with symptoms should be sent to the vet immediately. Q: How to treat wet tail? A: Antibiotics can kill bacteria. Adjuvant treatment also includes adding water to relieve dehydration symptoms, antidiarrheal drugs to relieve diarrhea symptoms, and placing hamsters in warm and clean homes. Despite treatment, most hamsters with the disease will still die, usually 48 hours after the initial symptoms begin to attack. Q: Can wet tail be prevented? A: Wet tail disease cannot be completely prevented, but it can reduce the risk of hamsters starting to get this disease. Once young hamsters may be infected with bacteria from their mothers or other hamsters by eating contaminated water and food, they must be placed in a clean environment. Before raising young hamsters, it is necessary to find out whether any hamsters in their family suffer from this disease. Choose a hamster that has never suffered from wet tail disease in the family. In order to avoid adding pressure to hamsters in the new environment, you can restrict yourself from touching them in the first few days, keep their original eating environment for a while, and slowly change them into new food if necessary, and so on …
If you can't buy a specific medicine for wet tail, the first step is to give hamsters appropriate antibiotics. Bay tril[ Chinese seems to be "Bai Bing Xiao", which is a special antibiotic for animals], metronidazole [metronidazole], or doxycycline [doxycycline hydrochloride] can be used. Melt a few slices into hamster drinking water, or use a needle (don't put the needle! ) Pour it into the hamster's mouth. * Never give the hamster penicillin! ! Most hamsters who die of wet tails are dehydrated, not because they have the disease. So the sick hamster had better drink some diluted glucose. Glucose can't be bought, but sports drinks with more water can also be bought. It is also important to supplement high-quality fungi and let hamsters eat some original yogurt. It's not the snack yogurt granules sold in the pet's mobile phone, but the original yogurt we eat. Let the hamster have a good rest, isolate it from other hamsters and give it a clean and quiet space. Clean its cage, use new fillers and make sure to wash your hands with soap before holding it. Food must be kept mild. Don't give fresh fruits and vegetables, it's easy to have diarrhea if you eat fresh ones. Let it eat less irritating rat food, dry whole wheat bread and oatmeal. A good way to feed is to mix oatmeal with plain yogurt. They love it! In short: a clean and quiet environment and mild food.
When the wet tail is wet, the stool is soft and smelly, and the activity is obviously reduced. After three days, I ate less and less every day, and my stool suddenly became thinner, so I could see the bones. I summarized several treatments. Of course, if you notice that the stool is getting soft, you should give it to the apple immediately, which should be better. ) 1. When you find that SS doesn't eat or eats very little because of soft stool, buy him an apple immediately. If you encounter SS who doesn't like apples, you can feed diluted glucose water or nutrient water of Maca. (I know that Maka's nutritious water may not be available in many places, and it took a long time to find one to sell. Many friends say oxytetracycline is good for diarrhea. Although I have never tried it, I believe it is still effective. The problem is that Maca's antidiarrheal water is very effective. 2. If SS is very ill and always sleeps, and has no energy to eat the medicine in the kettle, you can feed it into SS's mouth with a cotton swab. If she doesn't open her mouth to drink water, she needs someone to help her pick up SS, pull the skin behind her head, let SS open her mouth and feed some medicine with a cotton swab. You'd better have toilet paper ready at any time. SS will spit out the medicine and get it on their nose because of resistance. If she doesn't wipe it right away, I'm afraid it will choke her nose. 3. Another detail is SS's bowl. If your SS uses a high bowl, you have to climb in to eat, and SS may not be able to eat food because of the lack of strength to climb in. I found that SS began to eat after I changed the food into a small plate. I live on the second floor of SS, and I put food in front of her house on each floor so that she can eat whatever she wants, so she won't. 4.SS will have a good bowel movement after taking the medicine, but will not eat a lot of things immediately. Don't worry at this time, she can continue to feed Marca with nutritious water. I always feed Marca nutritious water for two days and keep fresh apples and some dry food every day. I was afraid that she would not digest well, so I gave her more cereal, corn and millet. Only a few other greasy things would make her appetite.
Generally speaking, I think it is important to care about SS. We should find a little problem with SS in time and find a solution as soon as possible. I am absolutely full of praise for Marca antidiarrheal water. SS will take the initiative to drink, no taste. But nutritious water smells like pineapple soda, which always makes me feel that there are too many essences, and SS doesn't like it. Cephalosporin-can be used for colds (SS symptoms are wheezing, similar to burping), or for anti-inflammatory when fighting injuries. Usage: The powder can be added to a water bottle or directly applied to the wound. In severe cases, you can directly feed 1 twice a day for 3 days. If you feed it directly, use one-third spoon of ear-digging spoon every time. You can put it on what it usually likes to eat. My family smeared it on the washed vegetable leaves and ate it in one bite. If you put it in a mixed water bottle, the amount can be slightly larger, about half a spoonful. When using cephalosporins, be careful, master the dosage, and stop taking them as soon as they get better. This thing is very powerful for everyone. If the cold is not too serious, you can use Banlangen and so on instead. Never used it and I don't know the effect (injection)-wet tail, soft stool, watery stool. Usage: drop 4 drops in 80ML water bottle, and add a few drops in severe cases. Or directly feed it twice at 1 day, mix about 4 drops of Qingda with honey or glucose water with an eye drop bottle, and let SS lick it directly. Hey, space-based instinct is good. After 3 days, stop taking medicine to observe BB, and stop taking medicine as soon as it turns black. Stop all fruits and vegetables during taking the medicine. If it is green and fishy, please pick it out and throw it away. Don't let SS eat it. The amount of BB pulled by SS is obviously reduced during administration, which is because Qingda is working, not constipation (Maca antidiarrheal water can be used if possible, but the antidiarrheal water can only regulate the stomach and intestines, so it is best to feed Qingda first in case of emergency, and oxytetracycline or berberine can be used instead if Qingda is not available).

"Mommy loves"-wet tail, usage: According to the situation of SS disease, pour half a bag of medicine and adjust it with water for about 2 days. It is recommended for children, and there are basically no side effects. The drugstore sells MR antidiarrheal water and nutritious water wet tail. Usage: Mix water, the effect is very good, and everyone continues to praise it, but it is difficult to buy it. You should go to a professional.
Do you have yogurt, milk, rice flour or cereal at home?
If you have it, eat a spoonful of this, plus half a piece you usually have diarrhea.
Stir well, and then feed with a small spoon.
Usually delicious, they will take the initiative to eat.
If you have more time, feed it several times a day. If you have less time, feed it once every morning and evening.
It usually takes 2-3 days to recover. If you really don't like it, just put some on your mouth.
It can wash its face and eat. Don't just feed pills, be sure to mix them with delicious food.
After all, pills are bitter, not to say that people don't know that they are good for themselves and will not take the initiative.
But you have to change this medicine every day, as well as the things that come with these foods.
Otherwise, it is easy to collapse, and it will get worse instead of being treated.
My family's SS treats it like this:
1。 Put 1 diarrhea or nutrition medicine in SS drinking water bottle (less, more will kill you).
2。 Eat Chinese cabbage, peanuts, breadworms and other supplementary nutrition, and don't let the resistance drop. Pay attention to balanced nutrition, but don't eat it to make him angry.
3。 You wipe his tail and reproductive organs with disinfectant that is less irritating to the skin. You can wipe it with a cotton swab. The SS may struggle. Be careful not to get hurt when painting.
4。 Anyang, let him rest in peace and stop playing with him. Make him mentally stable. (Because SS herself is afraid of being nervous, besides, you can't tell him that you have XX disease.)
But be careful, wash your hands after touching the sick SS! ! !
All right, 75% will do. My family will be cured. Come on! ! !
Like the above answer, I have tried. But SS is basically only willing to eat 1 and then quit.
If you force it to eat, it will hate you again and bite you next time. Besides, sometimes I throw the rest in the cage.
(How many ways, ok? If not, I can't help it. )
