Take her to the vet. Be sure to find a vet that is experiance with hamsters and small mammels, because not all of them are.
For now, make her as comfortable as possible. Give her a nice fuzzy blanket, and let her feel safe. Dwarf hamsters are prey animals, so when they know they've been injured it will frighten them when something big comes to pick them up, whether they're used to you or not. Don't take her out and try to play with her, especially since there is no way of telling exactly how badly she was injured unless she sees a vet.
Good luck! Hope your hamster is okay!

Did you post your question already? I've answered it - it is definitely time to take hammy to the vet.
People like eevee are a perfect example why medical questions should ONLY be addressed to vets, not Yahoo Answers.

I thnk you should take the animal to the vet. It could be injured internally.

take her to the vets, its more than likely there is something wrong with the brain, it might not be too serious, but take her to the vets and they'll take care of her.. best of luck xx

im sorry but shes probably lost her memory and the vet wont help trust me, you should continue helping her until she remembers how to do everything
