Is my 2-year-old hamster's weird noise due to age or infection?

Question

My 2 year old hamster makes weird noises. I’d like to show you a video. How can I? We’ve already treated her with antibiotics for a respiratory infection. Is it an “old age” thing? Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Female | 2 years old

You could upload your video to a video hosting site and provide the link in a new post. Patricia would be considered a "senior" pet at her age, so the noises you are hearing may be age related. A physical examine would be necessary to make this determination. If antibiotics did not help, consider a recheck with your veterinarian. It is possible the infection was not susceptible to the antibiotic of choice or it could be a fungal or viral infection. Neither would be affected by antibiotics although they would prevent susceptible secondary infections.
