Why I need help quick I think my hamster is dieing?

Maybe he has passed on I had a hamster and I loved her so so much and she only lived 1 year.I know its very sad,im sorry to hear that about your hammy.

                    Sorry...

Please don’t perform CPR on a hamster if you don’t know what the problem is - you could do further damage by blowing out the poor things lungs!

A hamsters pulse rate can drop to 4 bpm when in hibernation..

HES NOT that OLD I’ve HAD HIM SINCE HE WAS JUSTbarley old enough to buy so hes about just a year old dis month

how old is he? The life expectancy for a hamster is 3-5 years depending on how well you look after him. if he’s around that age then he might die but it’s natural so you need to let him. Leave it a few days and if he’s still alive then take him to the vets. Sorry about your hamster :’(

Well how old is he? How long have you had him? Hamsters don’t really live that long to tell you the truth so if he is dying, maybe it’s just his time

its maybe just in shock keep everything around him quiet is there anything that could of scared him e.g.young kids ,animals etc. and try keep the room dar and quite warm but just leave it for a few hours and see what happens the same thing hapened with my friends hamster because he dog scared it but thts what the vet told her to do but if its not ok after 6 hours or something get it to the vets as soon as you can

Unfortunately there’s not a lot you can do to help a hamster…their lifespan is closer to 2 - 3 years, depending on the species (some species live for an average of only 18 months).

It could be anything - respiratory failure is quite common.

Hopefully the little thing survives until you can get it to a vet, but there’s nothing else you can really do if it’s dying.
