A hamster with wet tail easily develops dehydration and shock, showing weak limbs, occasional convulsions, low temperature, and abnormal breathing, a critical state that is often fatal. Still, take it to a vet quickly for oxygen to avoid missing the last chance.
On the way or if no hospital is available, wrap the hamster in a towel with a warm pack to maintain body temperature, then feed a little glucose water and goat milk powder and watch for improvement.
