  1. why cant you take it to the vets? if you in the UK the PDSA will look at it for free


  2. you cant feed her grapes!!! that has too much acid in it and it can hurt her stomach..feed her bread and she will be better in no time..also she needs pleanty of sleep..to much stress might be the cause of this. i hope this advice helped you alot.

  3. Maybe she's pregnant or maybe wet tail??

  4. ask google.com

    you will find the answer to ur question there

  5. right first if the hamser is a few years old sometimes thats all they live for for depends how old the hamster is if it is young yeah phone the rspca

    and ask for advice or the vets why not? good luck

  6. Keep her warm with plenty of food and water , keep her away from fruit + veg at the mo or she might get an even more upset stomach . make sure she is in a quiet place with no disturbance , this might cause a heart attack . It might be wet tail , if Left untreatedd this can be fatal . If your mum said u can't take her to the vet because it costs to much take her to the pdsa , they will look at her for free or ask for a donation , i done this four years ago and my hamster is still alive .

    best of luck . stephenie .

  7. wet tail. My hamster had it a couple of times before he had to get put down.

    They first gave him an injection, and drops i had to give him twice a day for a few days, which cleared him the first time round

    Second time he got it was about 6mths after, and unfortunately he didn't clear up at all, got worse and worse, and he had to get put down.

    Its not fair on the hamster. You need to take him to the vets. Not nice for the wee creature to be suffering :(

    Good luck, and i hope she will be ok.  

  8. all you can do is do your best it sounded like a tummy infection give her raisins to small amounts though and look for a hamster vitamin supplement this will help to  

  9. ring rspca, for advice if you cannot take it to the vet, although i am sure they will advise you to.

  10. do voodoo magika on her to bring recovery of life  

  11. Why can't you take her to the vet? There are low cost clinics.

  12. this is a little bit of information, if an animal is not moving it is dead! joke! go to google and type in interactive vet association and a site will come up with a load of medical help concerning hamsters, rabbits etc. trust me i did it for m my turtle!

  13. it might be wet tail. wash her in warm water then dry her off. if that isnt that i dont know what it is

  14. how old is she?? is she's 2-4 years well she's dieing.

  15. Learn to Let Go,

    Everything Dies.

  16. If she isn't moving it should be a sign that she's dying, or very sick. The only thing you should do is take her to the vet. If you ''can't'' then the only thing that will happen is you watching her die. If you really want her to live and not die, just bring her to see the vet. There's no ''can't''. Just do it. It won't cost a lot. You should have thought about this before keeping the hamster.

  17. Hamsters don't live long but I'm sure you know that.  If she's over 3 chances are it's just her time.
