I am so sorry that your hamster isn’t feeling well. There are many possible causes including injury, dental disease, organ failure, heart disease, and cancer. Is she eating? If she is not eating then the is at high risk for this being a fatal event. Hamsters can not go long without food. I would encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Look her all over to look for any injury. Make sure she can get to food and water without having to move much. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
