Re: Scratching near eye and Respiratory Infection
Update (2 days later):
I emailed the vet photographs as taking him back in would be too stressful. The vet has prescribed an antibiotic eye drop ointment, to put on the sore skin next to Moss' eye. In case any accidentally gets in his eye, the eye drop form is safer.
Moss is still hamster-ing around but we haven't seen an improvement in his breathing and snuffling. We are still administering his oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds - tomorrow will be a week on those.
I weighed him again yesterday and he's down to 114g, so seems like he's lost another 6g despite my best efforts giving him cooked chicken, mealworms, sunflower seeds and Chubby Cheeks syrian mix. I don't know how else to fatten him up while he's poorly, I'll cook him a scrambled egg today.
