I had exactly that with Bonkers

[HarryLucy]

thanks. You did? What happened?

[bonkers4hamsters]

She was fine for a while and coped although it got bigger and bigger, she had less mobility and not to worry you as of course it may not be the same thing but we discovered that suddenly she was in pain and she was pts. Please dont worry though as she probably had something different.

okay thanks, how quickly did it get bad though? xx

[bonkers4hamsters]

Not sure, she went down very suddenly and then stayed the same for about 3 weeks, and then she went downhill again

hey guys, just to update you... the day before yesterday we woke her up to clean out the cage, and saw she was getting REALLY big and struggling a little to walk up and down the ramp between her water and her house, so we got rid of her ramp and moved the house to the bottom floor to make it easier for her to drink. yesterday morning we woke up to see her lying upside down in the middle of the cage floor, seemingly dead , however, she flinched slightly when touched, and tried to roll over which was really sad to watch. Anyway, I picked her up and put her back into her house the right way up and she was very cold and thin (apart from around the middle obviously). she was clearly uncomfortable so we rang the vet who had said to bring her back if her condition deteriorated. She was put to sleep yesterday morning and we miss her a lot thankyou for all your advice guys x

Awww . Poor little girl, at least she is no longer in pain. Play well at the bridge...

Very sorry for your loss... At least she's not suffering anymore...

Enjoy the Bridge, little one
