It sounds very like something that happened to one of my first Chinese Hamsters. I honestly thought he was dying but the next thing I knew, he was up and about like nothing had happened.

I concluded that it was either a minor stroke or some kind of seizure but he never had another episode like that until he had what was definitely a stroke in his old age.

The other thing that makes me wonder if it's something heart related, particularly if she was very active just before it happened.
