Katarina is a pink eyed, white, Russian dwarf hamster. She arrived at the rescue with a missing eye. She lost her eye from another hamster that had beat her up :( She has been well healed and okay for many months now. Just recently, her only eye has become cloudy and bulging a little. She just saw the vet yesterday and she has a cataract in that eye! She still has some vision out of the eye, but it will deteriorate and she will become blind in the near future. Poor Katarina doesn't have any luck with her eyes and vision. There isn't any treatment available for hamsters for cataracts. There is for dogs and cats , but not a small hamster.
Katarina isn't a friendly hamster at all. She will bite. (I pick her up and move her by scooping her up inside of a dish) But, can you blame her? We would love Katarina to get adopted and finally have a permanent loving home. She was special needs before, now she is greatly special needs. We will include her cage with adoption. She is very familiar with those surroundings. Does anyone have it in there hearts to take in a hamster that will be blind and isn't friendly?
