Hi. My hamster's tongue is sticking out of his mouth and it's really bad. He's over 2 years and just last week he was not eating and he wasn't eating and when we called him and even knocked on his cage and he didn't come because usually when we did that he used come out of his house. Please tell me what to do I'm so scared. It's not normal

My male Syrian hamster has a wound on his right hind leg. It first appeared as a lump on his leg, then it started bleeding, and now it seems to be eating away from his leg. What is wrong, and how could I help him?

Hi, my hamster recently has developed a very large and dry eye. My hamster also seems to be shaking a lot and gets alot of sleep. with the eyes, one of them is almost shut, and the other is huge and crusted over. This has never happened before, what should I do, and what's going on?

Hi my girlfriends hamster died last night. We're still so baffled as to how. He was perfectly fine the night before, We thought he'd gone I to hibernation but we moved his cage to wake him up, then picked him up and he was stone cold. No signs of breathing either. He was only 5 months old. Any reasons to why would be handy please

My hamster gave birth to a seven pups. One died after 5 days because it lost its one foot when it was born. It develops sort of infection because it get swollen and yellowish when i examined after it dies. After a week of giving birth the mother, which she lost her one tooth after giving birth also might have an infection because her mouth and neck get swollen and her tooth became somewhat dark. But she's still eating and drinking anyways maybe because she is mother who needs to feed her litter. What do you think the real problem of my hamster and what should I do?

My Syrian hamster looked very dizzy, moved back and forth when sitting, labored breathing. Her nose and mouth looked dark red kinda on purple side. Eyes are closed, sleeping a lot. What it can be ? Thank you so much !

Hi, my hamster has recently when awake been spinning around in circles extremely fast and then falling over when he walks and his head twitches a lot too, could this be a stroke and would it be treatable? Has anybody had this experience before? Thankyou

One of my hamsters seems larger in size - bloated , eyes shut & breathing fairly fast - not been her usual self & just in her sleeping area, back end appears dark around area - and appears to have passed small hard stools. She was originally & previously active & when up and about be twanging at the barred section of the plastic coated barred area in middle top of cage early hours of each morning, seems to have become inactive recently - What could be wrong with my female hamster?.
