Today I will talk to you about a relatively heavy but also very important topic - the symptoms and signs of hamsters before they die. As a responsible pet owner, it is necessary to know this information to help us better care for and accompany our little friends through their final days of life.

1. The activity decreases and becomes unusually quiet

If you find that your hamster suddenly becomes less active and no longer runs around in the cage as before, But if you stay in one place for a long time without moving, you should pay attention. This may be a sign that the hamster's physical strength is declining and its health is deteriorating.

2. Loss of appetite, even refusing to eat

Hamsters are good foodies, and their eyes usually light up when they see food. But if one day you find that it has lost interest in food and eats very little, or simply stops eating, then this is a big problem. This may be because your hamster is not feeling well and has no appetite, or it may be that it no longer has the energy to chew and swallow its food.

3. Difficulty breathing. Increased respiratory rate

When a hamster is dying, its breathing may become abnormal. You may hear strange sounds when it breathes, such as wheezing or grunting. This is because there may be a problem with the hamster's respiratory system, causing it to have difficulty breathing. At the same time, the breathing rate may also increase as the hamster's body tries to get more oxygen.

4. Weight loss and body becoming thin

Due to reasons such as loss of appetite and difficulty breathing, hamsters may lose weight rapidly. You will find that its body becomes thinner and thinner, and you can even see the bones. This is a very clear sign that your hamster's health is in very bad shape.

5. Eyes are dull and cloudy

Hamster’s eyes are usually bright and lively. But if their health deteriorates, their eyes may become dull or even cloudy. This is because the hamster's body function declines, which affects the normal function of the eyes. When you notice this happening to your hamster’s eyes, you should pay special attention.

6. The hair is dull or even falling off

The hair of a hamster is a good indicator of their health. When a hamster is dying, their coat may become dull or even begin to fall out. This is because the hamster's body can no longer maintain normal hair growth. If you notice this condition in your hamster's hair, it may be in serious danger.

7. Abnormal behavior, such as spinning in circles or crazy biting< /p>

Hamsters may exhibit some abnormal behaviors before dying. For example, they may spin in circles or chew the cage like crazy. These behaviors may be the hamster trying to relieve pain or discomfort. When you see these unusual behaviors, it's time to take action as quickly as possible.

My friends, this sharing is over! Understanding the signs and symptoms of these hamsters before they die can help us take better care of them, identify problems in time, and seek veterinary help. Remember, as pet owners, it is our responsibility to ensure they receive the best possible care and attention.
