Where is her Tail????

I posted one day last week about my chinese dwarf hamster's tail, it was red and scaly and looked sore, it had no obvious mark's of injury.
I have just looked into their cage and have noticed that her tail is no longer there, she now just has a red stump!!!!
Although she shares her cage with my other hamster I have never seen them fighting and she has never had any other injuries so I do not think it is caused by the other hamster (although obviously I could be wrong).
I am going to phone the local vet's tomorrow but if anyone has any insight in the mean time it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Abby x

Re: Where is her Tail????

Maybe the tail was so infected that it died and dropped off? It can happen unfortunately
Let us know how you get on at the vets
