Did you know that seizures can happen in a variety of hamsters? Seizures are more common in Campbell’s Dwarf hamsters and Russian Dwarf Hamsters. If you own a Campbell’s Dwarf hamster or are thinking of purchasing one, you may want to talk to your vet about the possibility of seizures. Most dwarf 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, your Campbell’s Dwarf may go into seizures or 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 to your vets Middletown DE to learn more.
