Do red eye hamsters have diseases?

What does it mean if your hamster sometimes has 2 red eyes or 2 black eyes?
it probably has an abcess in its eye, and you should go to the vet ASAP. the least that could happen is the eye could be taken out. if you don't want to do that to your hamster, or put him through any pain, and you don't take him to the vets, then it is a criminal offence to keep him the way he is. he could be in a lot of pain already and can probably not see through that eye any more, so when you take him to the vet, you will be relieving him of the pain. this will n ot effect him, with only one eye, as hamsters have very poor vision as it is.

What should you do your eye is swollen?
That depends on the reason for the swelling. If you were punched in the eye and it is swollen a little, put something cold over it (if it's ice or frozen, please wrap in a towel to protect the skin) for 15 - 20 minutes to help keep the swelling down. If your eye is swollen because of a sty ( a plugged duct in the eye) then a warm compress may help, but if it continues to swell and get more red, it might need treatment with antibiotics. If your eye is swollen and there's drainage and you don't know why, better to see a doctor or nurse practitioner to make sure it isn't something that could damage your sight.
