What do you do if you can't take your dwarf hamster to the vet and it has one red eye? |
[Edit] |
Answer
Assuming his eyeball is red, with mucus, Polysporin works quite well. You can purchase this over the counter at any drug store. You can purchase Polysporin in drops or ointment(looks like vasaline). The ointment I beleive works better.
It works well on Dogs and Humans to clear up conjuctivitis.
Give your vet a call though, and ask if you can try it on your Hamster.
It's just a phone call.
If you decide to try the Polysporin, (after you talk to your vet), sooth his eye with a warm damp washcloth and keep the eye clean of mucus, before you apply ointment. Only apply ointment once a day.
