Distended abdomen can cause difficulty in breathing as in this case study. There could be abdominal tumours or ascites. The hamster is still active.   

The old hamster also has generalised skin disease. Clipping bald is important to remove the diseased hairs and permit ease of cleaning.

No further tests like X-rays, ultrasound  and blood tests were done owing to financial restraints.
