Will a hamster die if one of its eyes is inflamed for a long time?

A hamster’s eye will not die if it is inflamed for a long time, but there is a certain risk and it must be disinfected in time. If the inflammation is only mild, and the owner takes timely measures such as eyewash and oral antibiotics to reduce the hamster's inflammatory response, it usually will not cause the hamster's death. However, it should be noted that if it is caused by trauma, fighting, etc., you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. Such wounds are often larger and more susceptible to infection. Red, swollen and inflamed eyes may die if not treated, so the owner needs to take timely medication to relieve hamster eye inflammation.

Causes of hamster eye inflammation:

1. Hamster eye inflammation is generally caused by bacterial and viral infections. The owner should pay attention to the living environment of the hamster and disinfect it well.

2. Hamster eye problems may also be caused by food. You can give the hamster more water to see if it improves.

3. When feeding your hamster, don’t feed your hamster too many melon seeds and other nuts, and certainly don’t feed your hamster too many foods containing oil and salt.

4. Hamsters are suitable for living alone. If they are kept in a cage together, they may injure the eyes of the hamsters due to fighting, causing wound infection and inflammation.
