M hamster is qite sick. I thought he wasn't breathing but I went back up and he is. Last night he had a bunch of wet poop all over his rear and I know thats related to wet tail. But I'm not sure how he can get it without have someone to house with. Any thing I can do for him?

I'm sorry, but usually wet tail isn't treatable. You can try to take him to a vet, but I had a hamster with wet tail once, and he died pretty soon. It's usually trying to avoid conditions in which it might happen, like keeping the cage clean and not giving too many wet foods and foods like lettuce because it can cause diarrhea. Best wishes.

Wet Tail is very treatable! I have done it 3 times myself! Hamsters can get wet tail for a lot of reasons. If you want to save your hamster you need to give me a lot more info. I think you have let him go on like this for to long and because of that he may die unless you take him to the vet NOW and give me all the info about is illness, like what is he doing right now, is he eating, drinking? Stuff like that! hurry!!
