I had to have my winter white male Scooby put to sleep this morning. He took ill over a week ago and recovered slightly, although was never really himself. He stopped eating his food a few days ago and I was syringe feeding soya milk and porridge and making sure he was comfortable. Sadly, he deteriorated and this morning was not well at all. He was dehydrated and just could`nt co-ordinate himself and was losing balance. :(
I rushed him in to see my vet and because his eyes had been shut for a few days, one was very milky when Mr McBride gently prized it open. He just did`nt have any strenght left and I made the decision to let him go. He was around 17 months old and will be sorely missed. He was seven months old when he came to me last year from a rescue. He was the best natured little hamster you could ever want.
rest in peace Scooby. You were a lovely wee lad. x I have my two roborovski now but no other hamsters. x
