My hamster ended up cutting herself last night somehow, I stayed up until probably 3:30am just to see if she was gonna do anything . I couldn't tell where she was bleeding from cuz she wouldn't stay still. Her entire nail on her left back foot is covered in blood, it wouldn't make sense if she was bleeding from her nail o.O unless i'm mistaken, but i'm gonna look further into it later on tonight. I don't have the money to bring her to the vet at the moment to get it checked.
She's had a small cut before and it healed after a few weeks. Do/can hamsters take care of their cuts/scabs? From what I remember.. they can. Her foot doesn't seem to be in any sort of pain and i'm not that concerned about it and its nothing big, plus its not the first time something like this has happened.
blood and scabs,
injuries and sores,
cuts and infections
