Answers:
Take her to the vet for medicine to put on it's wounded paws. You can take a ice cube and put it on it's paw, it helps to stop the bleeding too.
ok well then ur hamster probly bit it self or scratch it on the cage,or it had bilster on its paw.
maybe it scathed it on something or maybe it is being irritated by flies and it tries to scratch them off.
hope i helped
the vet..there shouldnt be a reason to y it bled unless u keep it in a wire based cage which can and will hurt its feet
Your hamster will be fine, it will heal just fine.
use the quick stop to stop the bleeding its the same stuff people use to stop bleeding when they are cutting nails on dogs. If you don't have any on hand go to the kitchen and get a spoon full of flour. It helps stop bleeding ( I have used it for my guinea pig) After all that and your hammy has calmed down inspect the area and see what may have caused it. Then call a local vet that works with small animals and help you along with the rest of it hope this helps
Chances are it is nothing this does occationally happen they bite them selves or just scratch themselves. I would not recommend a vet but I don't know use your judgment. Is there a lot of blood? has it stopped bleeding by the time you read this?
Hope this helped
VET. petqna.com is not and never will be, an alternative to a veterinarian.
