What a shame she isn`t well at this stage in her life. Has she got like this suddenly or has it been gradual? At this stage I would see a vet, yes. But don`t give up on her. She may respond to an injectable for of treatment if the vet thinks doing so would boost her energy or help fight any bacterial infection she may have, although those usually have symptoms like sneezing/respiratory problems with breathing, eye discharge, poo being watery etc....listlessness.

Keep her in a warm room too because a hamster that isn`t eating or using it`s energy to keep warm will get cold quickly and won`t have the energy to fight. If she is suffering though, then it may be better to let her go. x
