    She has to be seen be a Vet, possibly a second Vet, possibly another visit to the same Vet. Antibiotics take time to work. When did she start them?

    Are you aware of hamster wet tail - no joke, it's an infection. It's quick moving and often fatal. Apparently 24 hours without liquids and the hamster can die a very painful death. You owe it to your hamster to get this diagnosed and treated or else end her suffering.
