I just sneezed on my hamster?

Question

And all she did was fall over.

Is she dead???

Answer 1

Possibly your hamster has sensitive ears, so it would be in shock right now.

Answer 2

I saw this same thing on a Drake and Josh episode.. lol

I thought it was a myth.. http://www.wikihow.com/Care-for-Your-Sho...

Answer 3

Maybe you scared her and she is playing dead.  Pick her up and see if she's breathing or responds.  

Answer 4

umm.....is she ok now if not i guess take her to a vet. :)

Answer 5

no she is probebly just shocked.x  

Answer 6

Hamsters get shocked by sudden things like that and your hamster must have just got shocked and could have lost her balance due to the sudden noise and draft. Just keep her in a warm place for sometime and she should be alright. She must just be in a "freezing" position thinking some predator is near her (shocks can create such impacts).

If she does not revive in the next 30 minutes, you might have to take her to a vet but I don't think that is necesscary since hamsters are hardy animals and recover quite fast.

Please try to never do this again to your hamster since hamsters can have heart attacks on sudden shocks like this and can result in the death of the hamster.

Answer 7

take her to the vet or the pet store you got her from for help!!this doesnt sound good...

Answer 8

check for a heartbeat

Answer 9

Hamsters get scared from sudden sounds or movement. She is shocked. If she doesnt recover within half an hour, I think you should bring your hamster to a vet. Your hamster shouldnt be dead. Keep her in a warm and quiet place.

Please try not to do this to your hamster anymore...it scares the poor hamster.. doing this very hard can result in a hamsters death because hammies can have like..sumthing like heart attacks or something when they are suddenly shocked and scared

Hope this helps :)
