Did you know that Siberian Hamsters are prone to have seizures especially if they are of the dwarf breed like the Russian Dwarf hamster and the Campbell’s Dwarf hamster? Some Siberian Hamsters will not present abrupt or strong outward symptoms like convulsions or fits. Instead, you may see your hamster tilting his head, walking in circles, having trouble walking, or falling on his back. If this occurs, call your vet right away. In most cases, a hamster may go into seizures of minor convulsions as a result of diabetes, brain injury, brain defects, poisoning, stroke, or even an inner ear infection. The inner ear, especially, is what helps control your hamster’s balance. If the inner ear is infected you will notice your hamster having extreme difficulty walking around. Talk with your veterinary clinic Hendersonville, NC to learn more about seizures in your hamster and how to treat them.
