shaking hammy

Question
My hamster is very lethargic, her ears are pinned back, her eyes are nearly always shut and she is breathing heavily. She is still eating and drinking though and is only just over a year old. She had cystitis a week ago and was on antibiotics. She recovered from this and was fine but then suddenly went like this.
Hope you can give me some advice

Thanks

Jenna

Hi Jenna

Sorry to hear your hamster isn't very well.

I'm afraid it sounds as though your hamster is in a lot of pain.  They usually sit hunched up not really wanting to move when they are in pain. I would suggest you either give your vet a call to discuss the situation or try and get an appointment with them as soon as possible so that they can give her some pain relief and possibly rehydration.

Good luck with this.
