They might change the antibiotic or increase the dose. Or prescribe metacam for pain relief.
Really sorry - it does sound like you think he is nearing his time. Not all hamsters live to 2. Anything from 18 months is considered old.
It sounds like he may be in pain though. I would ring the vet and describe it. Of course it's a bank holiday week-end now. They should have an emergency number.

Yeah he's still on the antibiotics, tho cause he's eating little it's difficult to get it into him. He's already on metacam, he has been since I started the antibiotics
ik not all hamsters live long lives, I'm just sad cause my previous hamster lived for 31 months which is a long time in comparison, and I expected I'd have more time with him
