Is my hamster overheated or dying?

Question

My hamster who is still young is ill, is he dying?

He just lays there not moving and his breath is rapid and struggling! we cooled him down by putting him in water (not his head) and he is the same!

Please help!

Answer 1

Answer 3

he might be dying

does he eat drink??

if he does not he is dying

if he is he probably broke his back or legs so he can not move very well

Answer 4

Hey,

I dont think he is overheated unless you have him in a cage with no breathing holes. His legs may be broken if you at all can not move. Take him to a vet, thats the best bet to save him also move the water and food closer.

Keep him drinking water its important.

Good luck
