Hello and welcome. I suggest that you take him to the vets ASAP for a diagnosis and the appropiate treatment as he doesn’t sound well at all.

He could have anything wrong with him.

Good luck!

I know I’m actually so worried , should I take him today ? Do you think they would say to put him down though ?

I would try and take him today if you can as he does sound poorly.

Don’t forget that the decision to have an animal put to sleep is ultermately the owners decision if the vet suggests it x

He certainly needs to go to the vet as an emergency, they will do the best for him. Sadly, if that means putting him to sleep, then at least he won't suffer. Sending lots of hugs x

Please do take him to a vet quickly.
Hamsters are adorable but can deteriorate rapidly if sick
