The same thing happened to my hamster years ago right before she died. Your only hope would be to keep her warm and clean. Pray if you find that helps.
Brightest blessings to you and your hamham,

Get your hamster to your vet. Any animal a person owns deserves to go to a vet if it gets sick. Then the vet can tell you what needs to be done and your pet will live a long and healthy life.

I understand not being able to go to the vet and I really sympathize!! I have had hard times just like that. I truly wish I could help. Do you have someone you can call? Friends? Family?
I agree with Tom. Hopefully some vet will work with you. I will pray for you both! I wish I could say or do more. Good luck and God Bless.

Please take her to the vet even if all you do is take her in and put her down. Her kidneys are probably going. It's a hard decision to make. But don't let a animal suffer when there is something you can do about it. She deserves better. We need to help them when they can't help themselves. The vet will understand if you don't want to pursue expensive treatments.

Vet is what you want to do. No reason to let the poor thing suffer. You can probably work out a payment plan with the vet as a hardship case if necessary.

What exactly are we supposed to do for you. It's not like we can fix your hamster over the Internet. The vet is your only option. Or just let it die. There's nothing else you or any of us can do for you.

Get on the phone right now and call an emergency animal clinic. If your worried about cost - tell them. They will be in a much better position to give you advice than anyone here.

well first off how old is your hamster???? they have a very short life span and she just may be dying of old age.....if she is more that 2 yrs old then she prolly is save yourself a vet bill and comfort her as much as you can and make her passing pleasant , that is all you can do

You didn't mention how old your hamster is.They only live for about two years.I had four that didn't manage to run away before they died,and they all died close together.If she's about two,there's not much you can do.

may have a kidney infection..may have also eaten something that did not agree to him or her..But just to be safe, take the little critter to your vet.
