Sophie went to see the vet today. For a couple of days she had been trying to move food out of her right pouch and the size and shape of it never changed. Also, she wasn't acting herself. We suspected something was lodged in there and she couldn't get it out. It was the right move cuz now her pouches must feel better being emptied. We have decided not to give her whole pumpkin seeds in the shell any longer but only the hulled seeds. Since she is a senior hammy, these kinds of problems will happen if we aren't careful what she eats. Whew! Poor Sophie girl. Lesson learned.
