Improvement w/hamster after 4 days?

Question

THIS IS THE 4TH NIGHT I'VE STAYED BY MY DAUGHTER'S HAMSTER'S SIDE, NON-STOP. 4 DAYS AGO I NOTICED SHALLOW BREATHING, REAL HEAVY AND SLOW....ALONG WITH WHEEZING. I CHANGED THE BEDDING FROM PINE TO ASPEN SHAVINGS INSTEAD, THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE BREATHING BECAME MORE HEAVY AND SOUNDED FULL OF FLUID (RATTLING AND CLICKING NOISES). LATER, HE HAD Diarrhea AND BECAME SO WEAK....AND ALL THESE DAYS HE DIDN'T WANT TO EAT OR DRINK, SO I DECIDED TO MAKE A HOMEMADE PEDIALYTE AND SOFT FOOD AND HAD TO GRADUALLY GIVE IT TO HIM FROM SYRINGE FEEDER. TONIGHT I NOTICED HE CAME OUT OF HIS HIDEOUT AND BEGAN TO STUFF HIS CHEEKS WITH FOOD AND HE STOOD UP ALERT, LOOKING AT ME. HE HASN'T BEEN LIKE THIS FOR 4 DAYS UNTIL TONIGHT. IS THIS A GOOD SIGN, OR SHOULD I STILL WORRY?

Update:

After true commitment to getting Nuggets better, it really paid off. He's doing well and has completely recovered. He's eating and drinking on his own and no more Wet Tail. He was a Trooper and didn't even have to see the vet. Every 2 hours of feeding him Homemade pedialyte w/camomile tea and som soy milk...he recovered from this life threatening illness.... YAYYY...no more WET TAIL!!!!!

it must be herpes...it incredibly is enormously uncomplicated in cats. Is she sneezing to boot? My youthful cat had an eye fixed an infection, and as quickly as I took her to the vet, she stated it became into probable herpes. The therapy I used became into L-lysine (an amino acid) - you need to purchase it in simple terms approximately everywhere in the supplementations area. I in simple terms grind up the pills and sprinkle it on her nutrition. The style would not issue her and my different cat without herpes eats it too (it incredibly is secure for her to consume it). It facilitates with the an infection yet would not treatment it - there is not any treatment for herpes. The an infection ought to come lower back, my cat's did, so each time it does I in simple terms start up including the lysine to her nutrition lower back. desire this permits, and that i'm hoping the kitten feels better, even however my cat would not look laid low with those eye infections in any respect.
