Hi my hamster is usually very lively but yesterday she was asleep in her ball and today we got her out, she doesn't look right. She is walking funny, falling on one side and shaking, her eyes are slightly closed. She's about 13months old. I phoned a vet and they are going to charge a lot just to look at her, what do I. She asleep in her cage.

I have a Russian dwarf Campbell hamster. He is 1month and 10 days old. Suddenly I noticed he keeps jumping at night. He jumps too much and scratches the walls. He keeps jumping on his hind legs more. In day time he is normal. He sleeps a lot and eats and play with me. can you tell me what's wrong with him or it's normal. In my area there is no good vet/vet for hamster. Please help me what can I do for him?

My hamster had one of his playhouses on top of his leg and was stuck. I realized this when i woke up so I don’t know how long it was there. I got it off but now his leg is sticking up and he’s limping and licking his leg. It’s currently 8:30am and I can’t get to a vet until 4:30. Will he be okay? Will it be okay to wait that long or should I try to get there sooner?

hello. my hamster is very old and i think she is a Siberian hamster. she is 2.5 years old and her hind legs have not been the best. i noticed it today when i was cleaning her cage. her hind legs would slip, flail and drag and she kept falling on her side. i asked my parents and they said it was probably her time to go. we think she is just old. im sorry this comment is all over the place. im trying now to make her last days as comfortable as possible and trying to spend as much time as i can with her. i am also feeding her her fav foods. i hope she is not in pain. i know shes probably just old but cant help but feel guilty. if anyone has any tips please let me know

My hamster just fell from the couch where I lost her and down to the first floor. She's a roberrovski female and she's been having trouble walking. we've been trying everything but she doesn't seem to be healing. what do I do? please answer quickly as she's having a hard time moving.

Last night, my hamster was falling on its side, and shaking, along with only opening its eyes a little bit. It's almost in a ball, and feels very thin. It's a male Syrian, and he's not even 1. Today, he seems better, because he's moving and walking better, and his eyes are fully open. He is still very hunched over, and although we gave him a lot of food, he still feels thin. Normally, he looks chubby. I'm worried, and I'm wondering what is wrong. What should I do?

We gave her some water and she walked a little, bit every time, she walks for a few seconds then tips over. She pushes the food away when we tried to give it to her. Please answer immediately!
