My hamster has been kept over a year; last week its eye was slightly inflamed. I read online to use saline, but none was available locally, so I bought levofloxacin eye drops and used them three times daily. It worsened, and now the eyeball is shrunken, probably blind, the eye stays open and protruding. Last night the saline arrived and I applied some, then it seemed to bleed. I am a student and just want to know how long it can live; there is no vet nearby and I can only use saline and eye drops.
From your description, the hamster's eye may be conjunctivitis with secondary tissue adhesion, a complication after eye inflammation, worsened by poor care and wrong medicine. Tight adhesion may stop the pupil from dilating and contracting, and without professional eye exam and surgery it may die after a while. Hamsters are tiny with low self-healing. Use pet-specific cleaner, not human eye drops; if no improvement, see a vet.
How is a German Shepherd’s digestive system?
A German Shepherd's gut is generally good, not very different from other dogs, but because they are active and fit, their digestion is usually better. To keep it healthy, feed a balanced diet, avoid overfeeding or too many high-calorie snacks, and feed on a fixed schedule to avoid extremes. See a vet if diarrhea, constipation, or indigestion appears.
At what age does a German Shepherd stop growing?
A German Shepherd's body is basically set after 8 months, with little change after. The 4th-8th months are the rapid growth period, nearing adult size by 8 months. During growth, provide ample nutrition to avoid slow development. After one year it is adult and needs less nutrition, so adjust diet to avoid obesity.
How to Prevent Skin Disease in Shih Tzu Bear Hamsters
The Shih Tzu bear hamster has long, beautiful fur but is prone to skin disease. Causes include wrong bedding (wood shavings, paper pellets) that mats the coat, and urine left on the fur causing hair loss and sores. Treat by clipping and cleaning the spot, then applying an antifungal or antibacterial medicine with an Elizabethan collar. Prevent it with a roomy, dry, cool cage, cat-litter or tissue bedding, litter training, and regular sand baths.

Could an expert just tell me roughly how old the dog in the photo is? I know nothing about dogs
A full-body photo cannot accurately show age; clinically age is judged by teeth, with more wear in older dogs, plus expression, gait, and coat. From the photo this dog looks about 8-12 months, at most one year.
How tall can a German Shepherd grow?

Can you tell me what is wrong with my dog’s leg in this photo?
The photo shows patellar luxation, common in small breeds like Poodle, Bichon, Pomeranian, and often inherited. It has 4 grades; grades 1 to 2 may be managed with medication, but 3 to 4 likely need surgery (trochlear reconstruction). Limit exercise and add chondroitin and glucosamine.
My 2-year-old female dog has a hard lump on her belly for two days; what is it?
The photo shows the navel area, likely an umbilical hernia. Small, soft, painless, cool bumps are often normal; if it hardens, grows, or hurts, internal tissue may be trapped and inflamed, so see a vet about possible urgent surgery.
