Stroke in hamsters may be caused by other diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. If a hamster has the above diseases, it is easy to suffer from stroke. Of course, climate change can also induce stroke in hamsters. When the temperature changes suddenly, it will cause the hamster's blood vessels to constrict, causing blood vessel spasm, resulting in insufficient blood flow, which can lead to stroke. A stroke in a hamster may cause head tilt, body weakness, or paralysis.
