Last Saturday, September 29th I found my hamster hanging by his leg from the second level of his cage. His floor was made out of bars so his left hind leg got stuck and he was hanging by it, for how long I'm not sure. At first i thought his leg was broken but he seems to be putting weight on it.
He has always had eyes that had to be de-crusted because they would get crusted shut. For a few days after the accident both his eyes were crusted shut, but now its just one of them It has litter sticking to the fur next to it and had this big scab like thing over it but we were able to remove it with gentle rubbing with a damp cloth. So one eye is kind of weird and we're not sure what happened.
He also has this large swelling next to his face under the eye that is still crusted shut. We think that maybe he has some food stuck in there but I'm not sure how to tell and if it is I'm not sure how to remove it without hurting him.
Also to make things worse, my parents don't want to take him to a vet. So all I can do is something from my house.
If I didn't explain anything please ask questions and if you need I can post pictures.
I hope you can help me make my hamster as comfortable as possible.
thanks.
