Sweet dreams Adele
My bubbly, funny Syrian Adele unfortunately succumbed to her illness today.
She hadn't been quite herself for a while but after taking a turn last week, we tried a different vets. A wonderful, kind vet held her so gently and examined her carefully and could feel her tummy was enlarged. We tried a course of antibiotics, because she was still eating and drinking although struggling with movement.
Unfortunately, she worsened as the week went on, moving from her house to the coconut pod (no digging in/out required), only eating baby food and staying on the ground level.
I took her back to the vets today, and poor Adele was barely moving. With the growth no better and her health deteriorating, I agreed the kindest move was to pts.
I'm so sad that I couldn't do more for her. She was such a character, from the minute we got her home. Adele had been sat in the pet shop for three months when my daughter decided she was the one, so at least she had a happy life from that point, even though the Barney cage never seemed quite big enough (She escaped three times!).
Rest in peace sweetie

Re: Sweet dreams Adele
So sorry for your loss, Adele was a real beauty & quite character.
It's very sad when you have to make that decision to help them on their way when nothing else can be done but you did all you could for her & gave her the kindest gift of peace at the end.
Run free & play well at the bridge Adele.

Re: Sweet dreams Adele
It's a heartbreaking decision to have your little special ham put to sleep but you did it with kindness and love. Adele was a little beauty who had a long life filled with love and kindness and was a great age.

Re: Sweet dreams Adele
I’m so so sorry to hear about the loss of your Adele. I know this decision may have been very hard for you, but she isn’t suffering anymore. She must have had some adventures of her own when she escaped and when she was with you. You must have so many special memories of her. I understand how hard it is and am sending huge huge hugs to you during this time.
Sweet Dreams Adele.
