Hi, I'm new to the page and am in need of advise. I have 2 Siberian Dwarf hamsters. One is over two years old, probably almost 3. When I went to check on him and he was hunched over not really moving much. He is breathing pretty hard and is also very weak. Every time he walks around he has to stop and rest for a while before he can move again. Before this I had noticed he had been drinking a lot more water then usual. He also has one eye closed, which I managed to help him open with a q-tip and warm water.
I know he might need to see a vet but I cannot afford to take him. It might just be his time, but I still want him to be as comfortable as I can.
~Any suggestions will help, thanks.
