JUST NOTICED HH IS CLOSING LOL ILL REPOST ON THE NEW ONE!

 

Have I asked for help on this hamster before? (If yes, do not start a new topic. Look for your old topic and continue to post there so that other members can refer to previous symptoms)

No - This is the first time I am asking for help on this hamster.

 

Here is information about my hamster -
Age: 2 years and 7 months
Gender: Male
Species: Syrian
   
These are the details of my hamster's ailment -
When did it start: Noticed it a bit maybe 2-3 weeks ago (remy is a ghost hamster so i dont see him too much, especially since he's older) but it is definitely worse now.

 

Description of Ailment: Whenever he's walking he just wobbles so much, and is very slow. If it helps I can try and get a video but I'm no really sure how. It kind of looked like this except he wasn't flipping so much, just wobbling.

[Please provide photos if possible]

 

Any specific physical changes: 

[For example, sudden weight loss, localized weight gain]

 

For context, I had him with a friend for almost 2 months while I was away on vacation over summer break (beginning of june - end of july). When we first got him back, I noticed a bit of wobbling but thought it was because he was just a bit sleepy. The wobbling just seemed to be gradually increasing over time, and since I don't really see him everyday I was surprised when I saw him after a couple days of not seeing him yesterday and saw how much he was wobbling. 

 

I also had to take out a couple of his hides since they didn't seem to be helping him at all, and I moved his water bowl off of it's platform and to the ground to make it easier on him. 

 

Any help would be much appreciated.  :heartbeat:
