I think his life will be forever like this.
I got the flea/mites thing almost completely gone, but now he's having loose stools. I have no idea why, I never changed his diet. He also started eating less... and losing weight again. His poop wasn't completely runny, but really mushy and very light brown.
It started about four days ago. I thought it was just a bad day since there had been loud fireworks that might scare him, but the celebration had ended two days ago and the problem hasn't.
I hope to get him to the vet, but since it's national holiday(s) the fastest I can get him checked is probably at Monday, or the next day. I'm dreading if it might be useless... the vets aren't used to treat rodents at all.
If someone has wisdoms to share, I'd appreciate it.

It might be that I'll take a few days for him to settle down, so he's still recovering from the stress. I don't know Have any other changes occurred? Differences in temperature? Still active? Is this in the right place? I thought Panini was a hamster lol.

Is this in the right place? I thought Panini was a hamster lol. I really hope it's something that will pass. A few months ago I remember he had a similar problem, but it cleared up quickly. Yesterday I saw something sticking to his eyes. I thought it was tissue paper, but it didn't go away until this morning, so I tried to rub it off (gently of course). It turned out it was his fur (or eyelashes?). It was pretty odd, but his eye is okay after I moved the fur out. I'm not very sure if he's less active than before or not, but he's still run in his wheel and dig around. I hope this is nothing serious! Panini is a duprasi He sure looks like a robo hamster, doesn't he? The poor guy never had been in perfect condition ever since I got him. I don't know, he just never looked as healthy as my hamsters. He got a bad history and stuck on some suspicious food (he won't eat anything else) so I guess it's to be expected... I did booked a vet appointment for tomorrow. I hope we'll find something we can do :')

I though Panini, Verity and Valour were all dwarfies for some reason My apologies! Hopefully he'll pick up, little guy sounds like he's had as fun a medical history as I've had Hopefully the vets tomorrow will be able to suggest *something* at least. Do keep us updated!

I don't think I posted enough photo of him When he's in his bin, he completely blends in with his surrounding, so the photos look weird!

The vet give him an injection to slow down his intestine movement, and just some vitamins. I have to watch if the problem stops within three days. Other than that... the vet said she was working during holidays I should've called.

So here's an update.
I called the vet again yesterday and Panini was given another injection. I'm not sure if it's helping, he is still getting mushy poops. I also don't know how serious this is, since he looks completely fine other than that one problem.
On the brighter side, he's eating more than before and returned to his usual diet habit.
