Hamster with a cold

[Cheekystar]

Our hamster has suddlenly developed a cold, she's sneezing and making a lot of noise when breathing, her eyes are sticky and so is her nose and she looks like she's got a wet bum as well, any suggestions? she is 18 months old, but on the weekend was as bright as usual

sounds like hammy could have a respiritory tract infection which is much like cold and to go with that she could have wet tail I would get her to the vet ASAP the will pop her on antibiotics and she should be right as rain in a few days time

Or be aware of wet tail if she develops diarrhea.

clair3934's spot on get to the vets,a pet shop owner where we got one for our youngest told us to scrub the cage down with bleach to kill any germs,but take hammy to the vets.
