we just discovered that our Russian Hamster is very lethargic. I have tried to force water into his mouth with a dropper and have been able to get some down. he got wet as well. I dried him with a towel. I noticed what seem to be an accumulation of dried feces around his anus. I cleaned it off. After that he passed a little more brownish yellow
semi-solid feces. I stimulated him for quite a while by rubbing him. i have now put him back in his cage under a lamp to keep him warm. any ideas on what else I can do until in the morning when I can take him to the vet? He also has very labored breathing.

 

Optional Information:
Breed: Russian Hamster

Already Tried:
