My golden hamster drinks less than before, has a belly lump, drooping ears, bloating, whole-body weakness, crusty eyes, can’t control urination, and keeps its tail down.

Hello. Based on your description, your golden hamster shows abdominal bloating, whole-body weakness, and incontinence, which could be caused by indigestion, a tumor, ascites, or pyometra. Take it to a veterinary hospital promptly for an X-ray to determine the cause of the bloating and apply the right treatment.

We do not recommend delaying care or giving medication blindly, as that could cause unnecessary harm.
