In large eyelid abscesses (styes), eye drops will not be effective. So the hamster did not recover and the owner consulted Toa Payoh Vets. She did not want surgical incision and drainage of the stye and went home after seeing the visual.

She came back a few days later to get the surgery done. The styes have had spread to the whole length of the upper eyelid as shown in the video. 

Digital photography is effective in presenting the evidence to the knowledgeable owner.
