The possibility of saving a hamster in a dying state is relatively low, but there are still some measures that can be taken to try to save its life. If the hamster is on the verge of death due to hypoglycemic shock, you can try to feed it some glucose orally. However, it's important to feed it slowly to avoid choking. If the hamster is on the verge of death because of a serious illness or other reasons, the significance of treatment may not be great since its organs may have already failed. In some cases, the hamster may just enter a state of pseudo-hibernation, showing symptoms similar to those of being on the verge of death. At this time, it should be sent to the veterinarian for emergency treatment in a timely manner.
Some common causes of hamster deaths include improper diet, environmental factors, and diseases. For example, an improper diet may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort or even death for hamsters. Environmental factors like getting wet in the rain may cause hamsters to get sick or even die. Diseases or accidents can also lead to the death of hamsters. To avoid these situations, pet owners should provide a proper diet and environment, pay attention to the health status of hamsters, and seek medical treatment in a timely manner to prevent accidents from happening.
