think my hamster is sick....

Question
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. have another question.What if ur mom dosent think taking hamsters to
the vet is the answer? my mom says shes not going to take a hamster to the
Vet and pay alot of money for a little rodent. What should i do now?  

Answer
HI there... hamsters can get an upper respitory infections, pink eye blah blah blah... the list can go on.

what you can do now is seperate him from the other hamsters because it may be spreadable.

apply warm moist washclothes to his eyes to clean them out really well and help in the healing process.

He may get even more ill and perish if he gets worse and medication is not given.
