Hi, I'm not sure how to start a new thread and seeing as this is similar I thought i would ask here.

My dwarf hamster is nearly 2, and this evening i've noticed that he is walking very slowly, all hunched up and wobbly, my 1st thought was stroke as we had gerbils who went very similar after a stroke but Cappy isn't paralised at all, just a bit unsteady on his feet, i got him out for a cuddle and he kept falling over.Also 1 side of his facce seems more puffed out, and his eyes are wide open and dull. He's drinking fine, i moved his bottle down so he could reach and he had a small drink, and he is still knawing on the fruit wood thing i've got in there.
We've just got a cat, who hasn't got into the cage but has been for a look, could it be shock, or is it the more likley that he is on his way to great big cage in the sky. We have his brother too who seems fine, he came for a play and seemed normal.
Thanks for the help
KJ
