A small hamster was crushed, eyes open, body limp, mouth open with teeth showing. Is it dead?

How should a dog be fed during the teething period?

Is It Normal for a Hamster to Have Yellow Teeth?
Yellow teeth are normal in hamsters - their teeth are yellow by nature. If the teeth turn white, that's cause for concern, often from calcium deficiency or other disease.

Is a Dog’s Double Row of Teeth Caused by Calcium Deficiency?
Calcium deficiency isn't the only cause, but it matters—calcium aids tooth growth, and low levels can leave baby teeth in place. Small breeds with tight jaws (Boston, Boxer, Chihuahua) and dogs on soft food without chewing are also prone. Fix it with good diet, chew toys, and, if needed, extraction.
What happens during a cat’s teething?
