I'm really so sorry for your loss. I know how sad you must feel.

I am glad you were able to hold her for so long. And that she wanted you to hold her while she went. I'm sure she drew comfort from you and felt very loved. That's a nice way to go over to the rainbow bridge.



Rest in Peace little Hamwich.

Say hello to my Rocky when you see him. Play hard and enjoy yourself now that you are over the rainbow bridge where there is only health and happiness.

Hi I am new to this .... Just wanted to say we lost our hamster at the end of June ... Was very sad ...
It sounds like your hammy had much the same as Rhubarbie. She squealed then was shaking so much and gasping for breath. It was horrible. This lasted for about an hour. Also out of one eye she had this horrible glue like substance around it.
I still miss her. I think it was possiblibly a heart attack.
I can't say how old she was because we were given her, but we had her for about 8 months. She was fairly big, a Syrian hamster. I would like to know if anyone else can tell me what she died of. Thanks to all ... Nicki

i've never witnessed it, but ive gone in there and had older hammies who've had strokes, ive also had 2 mice have strokes whichrecovered aswell as two hamsters, but usually you cant do much for them, if they are quite bad, if mine have had a stroke/heart attack they have a warm teaspoon of porridge/oatmeal with a small amout of sugar which will increase their energy levels...

Hello Nicki
I am sorry for your loss Rhubarbie rest in peace little one.
Without a full vet exam/autopsy you may never really know the full reason for your little one's passing. I am sure you did everything for her at the time. Often by the time hamsters show any signs of distress or pain they are too ill for a vet to help. As prey animals they are very, very good at hiding discomfort as any sign of weakness in the wild would make them more attractive to predators. If we catch the signs quick enough an emergency vet visit can sometimes help prolong life. Injections of fluids and pain relief are possible, as well as heart medications etc. More often though the vet can help them pass more painless, via euthanasia.
I hope you will find a place in your heart, both of you, to love another small furry in the future.
Please leave a little Introduction to yourself Nicki in the Introductions Section if you can.
Welcome to Hamster Central. Hope to hear from you soon.
