Default Re: Very sick hamster, don't know what to do

I noticed on your other thread you are in Essex. Not sure if this practice is anywhere near you but they say on their "About us" page that they treat and have an interest in small furries and exotic pets, so they may know more about hamsters than some general vets. If it's not too far, you could maybe give them a call and ask how much a consultation would be.

Ah yes, I remember now, I took an axolotl there once! Thanks for the heads up.

I'm saying goodbye to Peaches at 10 am tomorrow. I'm very sad, but also angry that such decisions have to be affected by money. My usual vet wanted £60! I don't have that and got myself in a state over having to leave her to suffer, but fortunately I found another vets that only charges £35.

So sorry anet, it is a very hard choice to have to make but when it's the only & kindest thing left to do it is a gift of love.
Glad you managed to find a more reasonably priced vet.

Thanks for all your kind words. Thanks to Souffle's help I'm pretty sure it's Cushings disease now - it's so horribly cruel. But I'm glad she is still taking food, so she can have something nice tonight.

So sorry to hear this anet. I'm glad she's still eating though and you'll be able to spoil her tonight with her fav treats.

I am so sorry. It is a nasty disease, and you are doing the right thing. Your little girl will be playing over the rainbow bridge and pain free xxx I think it must be more expensive in the South of England. Where I live they only charge a token £12 for euthanasia. Play well little Peaches. Say hello to my Charlie xxx
