Tikeyas_mom is right, hamsters can't get wet. It can contribute to wet tail, stress, as well as other illnesses.

Also, she can't use towels / rags. The hams/gerbils will stuff it in thier cheeks and can choke on it.

Don't fret too much, sometimes your allergies appear in summer and leave in other seasons. Try taking meds that can go with zoloft. Call the doctor, make an appointment, and really, like I said, getting checked for asthma really helps. It's what I did. I have an inhaler that is for allergies, I can give it to you, but I don't want to unless your doctor says it is okay...
