I just found my hamster stuck between my wall and dresser after a couple days. She can't walk her arms look weird and her eyes are closed. I don't know how to help her or what to do. Any suggestions?

She may be painful and dehydrated and undernourished. An immediate check up at your local vet is required to have a better clinical picture and treat appropriately. Pain relief meds and eventually antibiotics (if there is any sign of infection) are possibly required. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
