My hamster is sick?

Question

i got her three months ago from petco. when isaw her this morning she was in a ball shape, sleeping I thought. When i opened her cage, it makes a loud noise, usually she wakes up, but when she didn't wake up, I poked her, she didn't do anything. she isn't dead because she was breathing, and her ears and nose twitched. I picked her up and put her in a diffrent part of the cage, she stretched with her eyes clothes and shivered and had a mini seigure and went back to sleep. WHen she moves to a diffrent location, she keeps her head on the ground, and does NOT open her eyes. There is a large piece of hamster doo doo stuck in her bottom, im not sure what the problemo is! Im really worried, and I cant take her to a vet, because it's closed for maintece. SOS!!!!! Thank you. Is she dying? Or just sick??

Answer 1

It doesn't sound good.  If you can get her to the emergency vet.  There has to be other vets in your area unless you live in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere.  

Anyway, good luck.

Answer 2

im thinking it might be that shes hibernating it might be cold in ur house  little pump up the heat a little and see what happens but if nothing happens i would take her to the vet right away when it opens back up or find another vet or u could just go with petco vet

Answer 3

i think she is sick and dying because my hamster use to do that but not exactly like that only some parts of it, but the next day she died but i thinkbyour hamster wont because she has less simtons than my hamster did...just take really good care of her and feed her vegetables or fruits and she'll be fine

Answer 4

Is her p**p wet and watery and sticking to her bottom? In that case she might be having wet tail disease. It is a serious bacterial infection. Please take her to a vet immediately for treatment because the more you delay, the more dangerous it can be for the hamster. If your normal vet is closed, try taking her to an emergency vet. Or call up your vet and ask them for professional guidance.

Answer 5

my hammy died 3 months back. I understand that the vet is closed but u need to get her to the next closest vet. But it will cost quite a bit of cash to pay for medication but it is worth it especially if it saves her if she is dying.

        Get her checked out! Otherwise take her back to where u got her from. E-mail me and tell me how old she is, if she has had ANY chocolate or has had any high falls.

My hammy got brain damage when she escaped and fell about1.5 metres and had to have her put to sleep. I hope u take my ad and get her checked out. Hope this helped

P.S get her checked out as quickly as posible!

Answer 6
