Hamster Central - View Single Post - what to do about potential respiratory infection

Im very sorry to see he couldn't overcome the pneumonia. He had had it for a while and it is likely the scarring on his lungs was too much and the infection too strong.

For future reference (any members reading this thread, or if you are unfortunate to encounter similar), please do not wait so long before visiting the vet. Although as Ive said previously, pneumonia is a 50/50 situation.

In the last video you posted he is really really struggling and again, waiting as you were going to do, several days to call the vet is not adviseable and more of an emergency situation not a wait and see.

We all learn from experience. Play well little one, sending yoggies to the bridge
