My pet seems sick, I need opinions
Okay. So I've had a hamster for roughly 3 - 4 years now. I've taken decent care of it, but I'll be the first to admit I could have done better. Today when I went downstairs to check on her she was laying completely still in front of her food bowl. At first I thought she was dead, but after I took her out and held her for a while I could feel breathing. I somehow managed to "nurse" it back to health, or whatever, and after shakily walking about for a bit she appears to be cleaning herself. She seems really confused though, and her equilibrium is kind of wonky.
What should I do? I asked my close friends who had Hamsters and she said I should probably just let this run its course because she's old, and if she dies then she dies, but I feel like maybe I should go to a Vets or at least do something.
I don't know what to do. I'm a terrible pet owner, perhaps it would be best to let it go.
Edit;
She seems fine for now, btw, that's why I feel like I have time to ask for opinions.

3 RepliesI remember when I had a hamster. He died from a major infection in his sleep. I wonder how decomposed his corpse is.

1 Reply3-4 years is a pretty long life for a hamster. She might just be getting old.

1 ReplyYou're a necromancer, so if it dies, what have you got to worry about?

I love how everyone is referring to her as 'him' even though OP made it quite clear their hamster is female.

My hamster done this when he overheated. Give him plenty of water and a lil spray. If it continues, go to the vet

Edited by Cobravert: 12/15/2013 4:20:15 PMNot to sound harsh, like some other people - Honestly, let it run it's curse. A hamsters life span is only 3-4 years. Since yours is in that area now, it is very likely this is the beginning of the old age symptoms. Not to mention, taking a hamster to the vet will likely be an expensive endeavor. All the vet is going to do is tell you their isn't anything they can do anyhow and charge you $100.00 to do so.
