Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

A swollen and red eye in a hamster could indicate several issues, including an infection (conjunctivitis), an injury, something stuck in the eye, or dental problems that are affecting the eye socket. Hamsters are prone to eye issues due to their small size and close proximity to bedding. It's important to get this checked by a vet promptly, as eye problems can escalate quickly and cause discomfort or vision loss. Keep the cage clean to prevent further irritation. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
