If your amber hamster becomes ill, it is recommended to seek veterinary help immediately. The veterinarian will perform a comprehensive physical examination to determine the cause and severity of the hamster's illness and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

While waiting for veterinary treatment, you can take the following measures to help your hamster relieve its symptoms:

1. Warm environment: Make sure the hamster’s living environment is kept warm and do not let it get cold. Devices such as heating pads or heat lamps can be used to provide warmth.

2. Diet conditioning: Provide fresh food and water to the hamster, while controlling the amount of food to avoid overfeeding.

3. Environmental cleanliness: Keep the hamster’s living environment clean, and regularly replace wood chips or feed and other items to avoid the accumulation of bacteria or dirt.

It should be noted that it is not recommended to self-administer medicine to hamsters, because the type and dosage of medicine may vary depending on the condition. The correct treatment plan needs to be formulated by your veterinarian based on the actual situation. If you have any questions or are unsure what to do, it is best to seek professional veterinary advice.

Treatment of common diseases of amber hamsters

1. Colds

When an amber hamster shows weakness, anorexia, runny nose, and sneezing, it is probably a cold. At this time, the breeder should do a good job in keeping the amber hamster warm, buy special cold medicine, and treat the amber hamster according to the instructions.

2. Skin diseases

When the amber hamster has red and swollen skin, hair loss, and the affected area spreads, there is a high probability that the amber hamster is suffering from a skin disease. Breeders need to dip a cotton swab into medical alcohol and apply it to the affected area. If the condition is serious, special drugs can be purchased for treatment.

3. Eye diseases

When amber hamsters shed tears or have secretions, you can clean their eyes with saline every day, and then use penicillin or chloramphenicol eye drops.
