Default Our beloved Bramble

Well I guess Bramble's Dad should be posting this, but today we had to have our gorgeous girl Bramble put to sleep. Last night we noticed that she had a very 'sticky' bottom. One of our first thoughts was wet-tail, however there was no sign of diarrohea and her tummy felt very firm and solid. WE took her to the emergency vet this morning, who confirmed our fears of pyometra. She tried to save her and was considering operating on her, but thought that she was too ill and so advised us about the kindest thing to do.

Bamble was about 18 months old, and we know that in the time she was with us she wanted for nothing. As Arti's very first 'own' hamster, he spoiled her shamelessly, and she received every comfort and attention she could wish for. She had one litter in her life, our very first litter of hamsters, and proved a most wonderful mother to all 11 pups.

Here is her website page, we took some photos of her last night, fearing the worst, and maybe when Arti feels better about it, he will post some.

Bramble had a hormone problem which meant she lost a lot of fur on her flanks, her wonderful satin fur thinning terribly. In the last month her fur has regrown and we were thrilled to see her looking so much healthier. Unfortunately, it appears this was a false hope.

Sleep well my darling girl, we will always miss you but will carry you with us, in our hearts and memories. xx

Awww I'm so sorry Run free Bramble. She had a fantastic life with you and it wouldn't have been fair to keep her for any longer.

RIP little one

I'm really sorry to hear your sad news Spuds Mum and Bramble's Dad.
You gave Bramble the best life she could wish for and made the hardest decision for her when she needed you to. *Hugs* to you both.
RIP Bramble.
