    He could have a bladder or kidney infection, in which case he'll need antibiotics from the vet. It could be due to his old age either.

    I don't remember it being too expensive but I haven't had hamsters for a few years. My little guy was old as well, he was about 2 or so. The vet gave me antibiotics to put in his water.

    It's not nice at all when little things like hamsters get sick, they're so tiny :(
