QuestionI think my hampster is sick. His eyes won't open and he has no hair left around one of them. Also he walkes funny (stiff-like) and he keeps falling over. I'm very worried about him because I don't know what's wrong.
AnswerHi Jessie!
These symptoms may be caused by a number of things, from an eye infection, upper respiratory infection to a vitamin deficiancy or mites. Hampsters are very hard to diagnose, as there are many ailments that they can develop and their life span is so short. Your only bet is to take him to your veterinarian for a physical examination that will lead to a diagnosis.
I wish I could be of more help. Please keep me posted as to how he does,
Hilary
