My hamster is bloated, wobbly, and has green poop. What's wrong?

Question

My Syrian hamster was fine a few days ago until one day his stomach was terribly bloated and he was very wobbly. His poop is green, he's stumbling everywhere falling on his back, and his stomach is hard. He's 2 and I think he might be turning 3 soon. What could be wrong?

Bloat is a relatively common condition in hamsters and it is usually fatal, it is caused due to a gastrointestinal infection. i strongly recommend taking him to the vet right away for euthanasia as he is suffering badly and is unfortunately beyond saving.
