My hamster is loosing almost all of his hair, his ears are black & he has many scabs & he�

he's male and perhaps 2 or 3. he was adopted so we're not really sure. He started out with a scab over his eye and his mouth gaped open and he lost all the hair around his mouth and head. The scab fell off his eye, but both eyes seem very small and he seems to be blind. His skin is red, irritated, dry, flaky, and VERY wrinkled. He is loosing almost all of his hair. His ears are black (not black before) and he's scratching at his inner ear and his body. He has multiple scabs on his face and body. What could this be? he seems to be drinking and i don't think they're mites or flees, but i'm not sure. how do i tell?

Hamsters only have a life span of 2-4 years. From what you describe this is one sick hamster. Please get him to a vet who will either cure him or put him out of his misery.

hello,



Get the poor thing to a vet!



If you have him in ceder bedding change that immediately. Fresh Timothy hay, pine or aspen work get.



He could have a form of lice or ring worm or just an allergic reaction. Try to give him him some yogurt, if he is stressed he's susceptible to wet tail and yogurt will help him to not get wet tail (diarrhea can sometimes fatal).



Or maybe it could be Mites. These common skin parasites often produce no symptoms unless the hamster is weakened from other disease. The microscopic mites burrow deep into the skin; when numerous, they cause intense itching, flaking, and hair loss. A hamster with a severe case may develop large scabs or sores because of intense scratching and biting at the skin Mites are hard to kill, but they do respond to treatment with Ivermectin (oral or inject-able) given daily for 6-8 weeks.(You can get it from a vet or a feed store - but it must be a very small dose for a hamster, so check with the vet)



Lyme sulfur dip may help when applied twice weekly for 6-8 weeks, but it閳ユ獨 more labor-intensive and must be applied thoroughly. Cleaning the cage weekly when treating the mites may help reduce re-infestation, but long-term environmental treatment is unnecessary, since the parasites die if they are off their host for long. These parasites are species-specific but highly contagious between hamsters; use caution when introducing new hamsters to an existing group.

2-3 years is the average life for a hamster. Your hamster has lived a long life and it's time is coming. The loss of hair and the scabs are signs that it's death is near.

My partner's Chinchilla had the same thing happen, it was a skin parasite, which should be able to be taken care of with some cream, but you have to get him to the vet right away! I know some people feel like a new hamster would be cheaper, but it's in a lot of pain so it needs to be treated or put down. Vet visits are usually only about $30. The treatment should only be like $10 (if it's the same thing the Chinchilla had).

Mange causes the HAIR to fall out and they develop scabs because they are always SCRATCHING it. The above link describes alot of things hamsters get sick with.
