Please take her to the vet and have her euthanized, and DO NOT bring another small pet into that house.
The pet store wouldn't have any clue what to do with an injured animal. The longer you wait, the more pain she is having.

omg, ppl stop harassing this person, think how you would feel, he was just asking a question, i would take it to the vet, but when my brothers hamster fell, he was paralyzed from the waste down and he was fine, we didnt have the moeny to go to the vet and hav surgery on a hamster, my parents thought it was stupid, so my brother just kept feeding it and it lived for another year and a half, and it wasnt screwed up, it was nice. he crawled around with his two front legs, and they got very muscualr(u could see he muscles!!) he was almost a baby at the time he fell, but he was running around my brothers arms then he put him in his cage(with the dorr open) and the little hamster jumped out. dont treat this person as stupid or evil for a hamster getting stepped on, it probably wasnt even this person

You ultimate basically won your hamster, they sleep ALL day, and pop out at early night and return to mattress in early morning! Your hamster is optimal somewhat one and she or he or he's scared. the difficulty with all distinctive hamsters is, they chew. however now not robos! The bites is additionally painful, however what you will do is positioned on gloves and rub them in her bedding, it gets her fragrance onto the gloves. in case you furnish her treats on your hand, then she will become extra friendly and be experienced the hand is an effective element. some hamsters are basically extremely competitive.

ok honestly people is it really that hard to figure out. TAKE IT TO THE VETS, dont ask us. If you hamster is limbing/cant sit up right/eyes aren't working properly then its nothing we can do for you, only the vets. I mean what advice can we give besides go to the vets? "Put a bandaid on it and pray" This is your poor pet, dont trust it with complete strangers if its acting like that rush it to your vets asap, for your pets sake. I wish you gl and next time something like this happens dont waste time typeing this out, go to the vets.

You really need to take your hamster to the vet. Something must be wrong if she keeps walking slowly. when my hamster got dropped, and it wasnt a long fall, she had a broken leg. it got better and better. maybe its out of breath, and just slows down to take a breath. but you really do need to take your hamster to the vet. hope she will be okay!!!

Yea, she is probably hurting.
I would go to the exotic vet and ask what you should do for her. she probably broke something in her leg and might led to her brain and hurt her eye, the reason she is closing it. I am sorry, but you will either have to have major, dangorous surgery, or, put her to sleep. I hope it is nothing to bad, and i hope she lives. And if she doesnt, get another hammy, and love this one up. Make sure you keep a good eye on her/him.
Good Luck!
And Good Day!
I am Sorry

Take your hamster to the vet ASAP. It sounds like it is hurtand it could have internal injuries which are serious and not able to be seen by you. There should be after hours emergency vet clinics available. if you call your vet there should be a message of where to go when it is after hours.

She is in alot of pain take her to the vet this minute to have her put to sleep. Please dont ever buy any small animals as the person said a question or two above. Sorry about your hammy but you have to be more careful.
