I'm not trying to be morbid and maybe your hamster will recover from his illness but mine had also lost a lot of weight and the vet had tried antibiotics but then he got more and more tired and weak so i decided to let nature take its course and make him as comfortable as possible which, in fact, turned out to be the right decision.
Not sure it helps you for me to talk about my hamster but i just want you to know that i understand how hard it is when our furry friends get old and become sick.

thank you for this. he is very elderly at this point and the URI has been continuously coming back and going away for two months now but he’s finally starting to really get tired and weak now so i’m starting to think he’s just reaching his time. i just hope he passes peacefully at home because bringing them home to bury after the vet is too painful for me so i will 100% pay the 200$ to have him privately cremated. i just want him to pass peacefully in his home where he’s comfortable.
