Hi,
Since last night my hamster Buddy has been uncontrollably rolling, almost flipping as it were. He does that, or lays still. I don't know if he can walk, I've given him water but he hasn't eaten. Every time there is a noise/he is touched he starts again. It's constantly to the right, no change of direction. He's starting to chew things when he's still, I'm assuming this is out of frustration.
I'm gonna get him to a vet but I can't get there until tomorrow.
Any ideas how I could maybe help him or what this is?
I realise that sadly there is a likeliness he may have to be PTS.
Any advice is appreciated.
