Hi everyone the vet thinks my hamster inhaled his sick. The smelly fluid coming out of his mouth was sick. This obstructed his airway and that is why he seemed like he was struggling to breath and why i could hear a clicking noise when he was breathing. I think rubbing his back helped. This can be serious it can cause inflamation in the lungs and cause pneumonia. Even if your hamster seems fine after this does have complications. Please take your hammy to the vet. The vet prescribed Bear antibiotics for 7 days. My hammy seems to be back to his usual self. I will continue to monitor him for 7 days. I've had a few hamsters but i've never come accross this before. I hope this will help others.
