Exclamation Please Help something happened.

Ok so, ik I haven't ever posted on here before but i can introduce myself later.
my winter white dwarf did something but i don't know what, she froze and her whiskers went forwards very slowly then abruptly fell back (she was in my hands the whole time) and opened her mouth as if she were trying to yell. she was like this for a bit and i was scared so i put her down in her cage. she was still, with her eyes open, and didn't move or blink for a very long time. i pet her with a stick in fear she might bite me. the whole situation lasted about 5 minutes but i have no clue what happened. she is now just fine and currently walking around her cage. if anyone is a vet or has delt with hamsters a lot id really like a some sort of possible explanation. i was very scared she would die or already had passed.

It may have been fear induced reaction or possibly a small neurological evert like a stroke. There would probably not have been much a vet could have done and if she's back to normal I would keep a close eye on her and if it happens again take her in for checking at the vets.

this makes sense thank you. i am aware she may have some internal issues already so this is possible. it's now been a day and she is just fine. thanks
