Hamsters are small pets and are not good at swimming, so it is very dangerous for a hamster to fall into the water, and immediate measures need to be taken to save them. Here are some emergency measures:


1. Take out the hamster quickly: Wrap the hamster quickly with a dry towel. Never pick it up directly with your hands to avoid scaring or overly frightening it and avoiding greater turmoil.


2. Keep your hamster warm and dry: Place your hamster in a dry, warm place and gently dry its fur with a towel. It should be noted that do not use a hair dryer to blow it, just use a towel to absorb the moisture to prevent the hamster from catching cold.


3. Observe the condition of the hamster: If the hamster stayed in the water for a short time, basically did not swallow water, and only slightly wet its body, then its health may not be serious. If the situation is serious and the animal shows obvious fatigue or difficulty breathing, it should be sent to the veterinary clinic immediately for examination to ensure its health and follow-up treatment.


It should be noted that if a hamster falls into water containing harmful substances such as detergents, or stays in the water for too long, its health may be affected. At this time, you should immediately send it to a veterinary clinic for examination and treatment.


In summary, it is most important to stay calm and take appropriate measures to save your hamster from drowning and ensure its health and safety.
