Hamsters eyes

Question
Hi,

I was just cleaning out my hamster and I noticed her eyes are bulging. She is quite old, 2 years and 3 months. She is active and seems ok other than this. Should I take her to the vet, is there anything I can do?

Thanks

Answer
At her age it might not be so much that her eyes are bulging but that she is a little dehydrated and is shrinking a bit from old age.

I am not a hamster expert and if you want more answers then post over at Heather's place- she is a hammy expert.
