My hamster fell and bit my brother. Is he injured or will he be okay?

Question

I dropped my hamster in his pipe. He fell on his back. After about 20 seconds, his eyes were slowing opening and shutting and he was then walking around. He then hit my brother and my brother is bleeding. I'm very worried. Is there any chance of him dying? Pet's info: Other | Unknown - Other | Male | unneutered

There is a small chance if he hit his head and is bleeding internally. But if he is walking around, then he is likely going to be okay. He probably bit your brother because he is freaked out or hurting. I would leave him alone for a few days and just watch him to make sure he is eating and drinking. If he is not, then I would recommend to take him to your vet for an exam to make sure he doesn't need any medication.
