Default Re: Hamster randomly started sneezing and unknown bald patch.

You can't buy antibiotics anywhere except the vets for hamsters, and given that used too often they're bad anyway I kinda think its a good thing thats the case. I'm not sure how effective raw honey would be as an antibiotic either really... I may be wrong but I've never heard of it being effective on internal bacteria. I've heard of manuka honey being good on cuts but I haven't even tried that really

There are lots of common causes of fur loss, but none of us are vets so we can't diagnose over the internet.

You're very lucky you've not needed a vet before, but I do think you should put a lot of effort into finding one for if your ham does ever need antibiotics or surgery e.t.c
