I have a sick teddy bear hamster. She's having trouble breathing and I am keeping her on a heating pad on low because she is very cold. Is there anything else I can do to save her? Can I give her any kind of medicine so she can breathe better and live? Please help. I don't want to loose her.

If she hasn't died by morning, please take her to a vet. That is the only thing you can do to help her.

Yea, thanks. She actually died last night as I was comforting her. She wanted to be close to me so she crawled out of the towel I had her in and into my hands and tried to crawl up my shirt. :(

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sadly, with hamsters, once they get ill there's usually very little you can do but make them comfortable.

At least you were there for her until the end. I'm sure that made her passing much easier on her.
