What are the possibilities that my hamster will survive having wet tail?
Unfortunately, wet tail is a very serious disease and is usually fatal to hamsters unless it's diagnosed and treated quickly.
Luckily, though, wet tail can be treated by a course of antibiotics - so if you suspect that your hamster has this disease then take your pet to the veterinary surgery immediately.
To increase your hamster's chances of survival from wet tail, you'll have to act fast. Here are some signs of the disease to look for:

To increase your hamster's chances of survival from wet tail, you'll have to act fast. Here are some signs of the disease to look for:
- The tail and anus of the hamster will be wet and soiled - which is what gives the disease its name.
- Your hamster may seem lethargic, so pay careful attention to your hamster's mood and general well-being.
- The hamster may experience watery diarrhea and will fail to groom itself - so you should notice the difference in its appearance really quickly.
- The hamster may experience a protruding rectum and discomfort when urinating.
- Your hamster may have a hunched posture, and dull and sunken eyes.
