If the injury is significant but not fatal then its behaviour will change, perhaps subtly, perhaps overtly. It really depends on the nature of the injury. Look for changes in the way it responds to normal day-to-day interactions like feeding or handling, and pay attention to its interactions with peer hamsters if housed socially. Weak or injured hamsters/rats/mice are usually withdrawn and will be picked on by their peers, sometimes to the point of death.
