or do you think it was just a coincidence?

Unless she really coated the little fuzzball, it's probably just a coincidence the little guy expired. The survival rate of pet store rodents isn't great.

Unless the hamster showed symptoms within 24 hours, I'd guess the hairspray was not the cause of death. A week is a pretty long time for a hamster.

Hard to tell without an autopsy but I'll make an educated guess.
Hairspray can burn the lungs if inhaled-
Burned lungs can get pneumonia- and that would take several days to develop.
I'm going to guess the Hamster died of respiratory complications cause by hairspray inhalation.

Did she spray a lot on it? Did it start acting sick right after? Did you bother to wash the hamster off? Was it old or sick already?You really haven't given enough information for even a good guess. But I wouldn't recommend letting that kid near your other pets, just in case.

No.
Aerosols contain many toxins & pollutants, nobody should really B spraying it near their face let alone B in the same room!
Poor hamster, gassed 2 death.

Maybe it didn't like it's new hairstyle....?
I guess it depends on how much hairspray. I am sure it wasn't good for it either way.
