I think my hamster is sick. He has it looks like sleep around one eye and
it looks like its spreading. I think I know part of the cause. Probably
cuz tha cage isnt being cleaned out enough by my lil brother. thats his
job. We have five hamsters and are trying to find homes for three of them.
But i'm not worried about tha homes right now i'm just worried about my
sweet lil hamster Snoopy. Please help me if you can.

Is this deadly?Thank you  

Answer
Hi there!  Yes, unfortunately, this may become deadly without proper veterinary treatment.  An antibiotic must be given to make this hamster well again.  Without the antibiotic, the infection will continue to spread and continue to worsen.
Please keep me posted on how he does!
I'll be thinking of you,
