Theo hasn't been herself this week since her eye ruptured, and we took her back to the vet today this afternoon. He explained that for her to have any chance of a normal life she would need surgery to remove her eye, but that for such tiny creatures there was considerably less than a 50% chance of her coming through it. He added that if he had been her hamster, he would put her to sleep, because a ruptured eye is excruciatingly painful. So that is what we have done. We have brought her back to bury her in the garden. The house doesn't feel the same without her.
