The vet bill would be app. £35 which is too much and I would have to pay it myself. Sadly, I don't have that money now. Its condition is worsening. I have looked it up on the internet, and you can do it at home with carbon dioxide made using vinegar and washing soda and that will make the hamster fall asleep and die, its all peaceful. The method is used at the vets aswell. I feel this is the best method. If I had the money, believe me, I would pay for the vet to do it. I see it now, and it is slumped up against the side of the cage, and its eyes are squinty, and its breathing is very fast.

It could just have a little few day illness, it will get better don't worry. It doesn't need to be put down just because it's sick.

So your mum and dad will just let your pet die?

My parents say its my decision, they can see how ill it is. Also, its not just a sickness its wet tail, in a serious form that now cannot be treated seeing how bad it is.

There are a few links on Google that says "Wet Tail" can be caused to a change in his diet, you been feeding him anything he's not used to?
-
Nope, its always the same food.

Bring him to the vet, just ask your parents for £35, I'm sure they'll allow you to have that. The vet will give him some antibiotics and hopefully he'll be back to normal.

This morning he is still alive (although still has diarrhea an sometimes slumped up at the corner of the cage) and I will be ringing the vets within the next half hour. Thanks for all your help, +rep given to helpful answers
