What to Do When Your Hamster Has Eye Inflammation
Hamster eye inflammation is usually conjunctivitis—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.
