Answer 2

Hamsters with Pyometra's can be treated with a strong antibiotic they do not always die within a few days it depends on how bad the infection is. You need to seek veterinary advice. I have a hamster with an ongoing Pyometra and she is on antibiotics and she's been on them a couple of months. The antibiotics help to get rid of the infection yes they still bleed but not as bad. Pyometra's are painful yes. I wouldn't call it and have her put to sleep I would see what you vet says.

Hope this helps I am sorry about your little hammy.
