Hey there! My syrian hamster, Honey is about 2 years old just about I think.
She is a friendly, active, and cuddly girl!
Recently I notice she breaths like this:

Is this normal??
Please keep in mind her coat is a bit greasy like that because I hold her in my hand so often Haha... she is always with me. But when shes not it's a nice and fluffy shiny coat. It's my sweaty gross hands that make her coat look like that .... hahaha...
But anyway
Shes eating and drinking normally from what I tell, she has always been a very cuddly and sleepy hamster, but she has her bouts of activeness too. She will sleep on me for hours at a time and it's always been this way all her life.
But what I've been noticing is her breathing from her abdomen area more rapidly than I remember her being. And for the past half a year shes had a bit of a clicky breathing from time to time. But it's never stayed long and went back to normal and I didnt think much of it. Could this be related?
Other than that I really havent noticed much difference in her behavior.
Do you think this is cause for alarm? Should I spend the money to take her to the vet.
