When mammals have seizures (of the grand mal type), they generally lose muscle control, causing them to lose balance and fall. Their muscles rapidly contract and relax, causing their limbs to straighten and spasm. Sometimes, but not always, they will also lose control of the bladder or bowels and will urinate or defecate as well.

After the seizure is over (the postictal stage), there is generally a return to normalcy, with some confusion or reorientation, and then they continue about their business.

During a seizure, a hamster may exhibit symptoms such as rapid twitching, convulsions, loss of coordination, and uncontrolled movements. They may also appear disoriented or dazed. It is crucial to seek immediate veterinary care if you suspect your hamster is having a seizure to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.
