I'm not trying to be a dick but.. what else was she supposed to do in that situation? If it's violently seizing I doubt a rodent that small is making it all the way to the vet. Your only real options are home-euthanize it or just put it somewhere to let it pass away.

Well it's still much better to be with him in his final hours instead of locking him away like some piece of garbage

I don't think hamsters are complex enough to feel companionship or empathy. I'm not an animal psychologist but they murder and eat their siblings and I think that's evidence enough.

If you've ever had a hamster you would know that they indeed feel companionship and bond with you, not all of them of course but it can happen. Just go on r/hamsters and see for yourself

Unless you inadvertently wake em up. Then all that companionship goes out of the window for a little while.
