hi everyone. this question has probably been asked before, but if anyone has any ideas/suggestions, i would love to hear them. my hamham who is a boy, peed out blood last night and today. at least i think it was blood. the colour of his pee was a bit brownish red. his personality is still the same - he's very energetic, squirmy, curious, and

well then please take him to a vet beause if you don't it will get worse and cost mroe money to help him :( im sorry he's sick. ive had one myself (me not a pet) and it's not fun. of course it could be something else too. you never know.

i never could keep a beta alive for very long. so i gave up. i do better with gold fish

Our little boy hamster Raoul did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. We took him to the vet, along with a tiny urine sample, and she thought that due to the fact that he is clumsy and tends to fall off of things on to his well padded nether region that it was likely a "trauma event" and should clear up on its own. If he was still doing it in another day then we should bring him back.
In our case it cleared up, and he has been as normal as he ever is since.

It could be a bladder infection. My hamster peed blood b/c of an unbalanced diet. He got better after we changed to pellet food. (plus a trip to the vet)

you should go to a vet. a uti left can be serious. i just know that when cats have them, it's really annoying and hard to get rid of. i don't know about hams though...

Take him to a vet. If you find a good one, they won't cost much and will know what they're doing. The one I go costs twenty for the visit, and another twenty for the medicine, well worth it!
