What to Do When Your Hamster Has Eye Inflammation

What to Do When Your Hamster Has Eye Inflammation

Hamster eye inflammation is usually conjunctivitisβ€”redness, itching, and tearing, with sticky discharge in the corner of the eye and, in severe cases, poor appetite and low energy. It is treated with antibiotic eye drops containing lysozyme, oxytetracycline, or tylosin, used 2–5 times daily for 5–7 days after wiping away discharge with saline. Keep the cage clean and draft-free, clean the eyes daily, boost nutrition, and fit a cardboard e-collar if your hamster keeps scratching. If there's no improvement after a few days, see a vet.
