I'm so sorry to hear that Beaker is going through all this.

I would most definitely take him to an exotic vet.

If it means that he has to have his eye removed, it isn't the worst thing that can happen to a hamster. They don't see very well to begin with and don't use their eyesight as much as their other senses. I had a lovely rescue hamster who lost an eye to a cat attack and was then abandoned before coming to us and he managed just fine with only one eye.

I think the exotic vet may need to x-ray Beaker to see what's going on but it should all be OK.

Sending you guys best wishes.
