Default My poorly baby might have to be put down

So it is 8:45 pm here, and my poorly baby has become ill again She has been on some meds but isn't taking them as well as she was, and tomorrow I am taking her to the vet after college.

Honey is looking like she's had such a rough night bless her, she's middle aged and obviously getting older, but today she woke up and came out all sweaty and hot and bothered. Now our house is hardly warm, so we have always made sure she is warm and not too cold, and last night the room temperature was as normal and she woke up all sweaty, smelling ill and had a whole sick look about her. And her uterus infection has come back with a vengeance.

So I'm taking my baby to the vets tomorrow, and I am so sad it will be a tearful goodbye and they'll put her to sleep. :'(

I know I will see her again in Rainbow Bridge, but it's still sad to think she is ill and even though she still has so much life in her she might have to be put to sleep It seems like yesterday I chose that crazy hamster that was lying on her back on the wheel like she didn't care!!!

I'm so sorry to hear your precious girl is poorly again. If she's still eating, then she may take meds hidden in a small amount of babyfood, or if not I find swaddling a ham in a teatowel can be a good way of getting them into a reluctant hamster. I hope she pulls through, but if not it sounds like she's been so very loved.

It's always hard when we realize that we might have to say good bye. I don't know what tomorrow will bring for you. The vet will guide you and you will need to make a decision for her and whatever the decision is, it will be made with love. I wish you the best luck for tomorrow.
