hey!!

my cat often gets fleas and gives them to my hamster, and i keep the door shut and do as much as i can but things happen and he sometimes gets into my room and gives my hamster fleas, this has happened 2 or 3 times now. i regularly check my hamster so i can get rid of them fast, and today i saw some as well as hair loss, this has never happened before and i’m wondering why?

he’s 2 next month, but he’s lost quite a bit of hair so i don’t think it’s just old age, the top of his head is really balding, as well as a lot of pink skin on his back. i was wondering if it was because of the fleas or an underlying illness?? and what
should i do about it, this has never happened before

thanks for the help!!
