This Question Is Answered:
 My Hamster Butters Has Some Sort Of Infection On His Underside, It Smells Horrible And Is A Greenish Yellow Color.he Won't Eat And Tries To Drink. Also He Can't Walk Well. WHAT COULD THIS BE???
Butters is not but just 1yrs old.I got him at a flea market.Just suddenly he got this infection.I have never seen anything like it and I used to breed hamsters.I always keep his cage clean and plenty of food and water,I even give my hamsters baths.Idon't understand how he could get an infection like this. Does ANYONE know what this could be.

 Hi there,
You don't say what part of the underside it's on, if its his back end I have a feeling it might be wet tail which can be fatal. Take him to a vet asap and seriously love, hamsters DO NOT NEED BATHS!!! Its just unnecessary and cruel.

 thanks for the advice,I have taken him to the vet and they said he had extremely advanced dermititis.The DR said at that point there was nothing that could be done and he suggested I put him down so I did!But i told the DR that it came on so fast,I hadn't held him in 2 days and boom it was there.thanks tho.
