Unhappy Could use some basic info

Hi. So my Syrian Hamster, Michonne, recently has been walking around with a hunch in her back. She also has some crust around her eyes whenever she is up. She hasn't been eating and drinks very little water from what I've seen. It doesn't look like she has been pooping or peeing either. I'm very worried about her and any useful information you guys could provide would be extremely useful. Thanks so much.

All of that sounds like a vet visit ASAP is necessary to keep your hammy from dying
Sorry this is happening

How old is she? Can you take her to a vet?

I was going to ask how old she is too. It does sound like she is near her time. If she is not an older hamster then she sounds unwell and would need to see a vet. It's difficult to know what to do if it is old age and they're in their twilight time. A vet can't do much and it stresses them out taking them when they're old and failing. But if she is not peeing or pooping or drinking and is hunched and she is elderly she is most likely suffering and in pain and could need helping on her way at the vets and that might be the kindest thing. The fact she is eating sounds like she is still doing hamstery things and hanging in there. A vet visit is needed though. If she is old the vet may prescribe pain relief or may suggest she needs to be helped on her way.

Hi Austin and Welcome to HC.
Sorry to hear your little one isn't well, I would arrange a vet appointment who will be able to examine her.
