Default Re: Bleeding Eye

Hamsters that have an eye infection have a discharge from the back of the eye that does look like blood but it isn't actually so it may be this.
They can also damage the eye and even rupture the eyeball accidentally or have this caused by glaucoma however it does sound to me like she has an infection.
These are easily treated so I would see a vet. Either Maxitrol drops or Fucithalmic eye gel is usually used and work well.
Hope she is better soon.
