Common conclusions

Your hamster doesn't show any symptoms of pneumonia. Avoid overcrowding the cages and keep them warm, dry, and free of soiled bedding material. You must remove any pneumonic hamsters from healthy animals to prevent the spread of infection.

Your hamster shows one common symptom of pneumonia. Pneumonia, or inflammation of the lungs, is not usually encountered in hamsters so it cannot be conclusively said that your pet does suffer from it. A thorough physical examination of the hamster should be performed by your veterinarian. Hamsters with mild cases of pneumonia respond well to treatment, though this typically involves treating the signs rather than the condition itself.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
