Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

Wet tail is a severe bacterial infection often seen in hamsters, especially young or stressed ones, causing diarrhea and a wet, matted tail and hindquarters. It's a very serious and often fatal condition if not treated promptly. Your hamster needs immediate veterinary attention. They will likely require antibiotics and supportive care. Keep your hamster warm, hydrated, and separate from other hamsters. Delay in treatment can be critical. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
