It will help guide you as to when you need to consider your hamsters quality of life. This is often when the hammy develops these sore, infected patches and means the immune system cannot cope anymore.
Your hammy has trusted you to see when he has had enough and when his life is a burden. Cushing's hamsters can linger a long time in some distress with their illness and it is the greatest gift to know when the time has come to release them from the disease.
Have a read and try and relate his condition to the advice given xx |
He has developed what look like infected sores :/ I just can't tell if he's in pain. He still eats, drinks, mooches about etc. It's so hard to know when the right time is.
