My old Syrian hamster has symptoms. Is it old age or vet visit?

Question

My Syrian Male Hamster is nearlly 3yrs old. He sleeps alot and his back leg is lame. He has a slight patch of flaky skin on his back and drinks alot. I have to bave his eyes as he has trouble opening them. He is so loved and well kept. Is it just old age or should I get him checked out? Pet's info: Small Animal | Hamster | Male

Hi, Sully is a very good age and apart from his eyes that might benefit from some eye drops I doubt that there is much else that can be done. I personally think most of his symptoms are due to old age. Hope this helps and congratulations on taking such a good care of him.
