Re: Is it time? - Poorly Hamster
Hi lonelygoldfish, so sorry to hear about your wonderful Frankie being so unwell. It is always a difficult question to have to answer for us as carers to our fluffs. To be honest, if you are asking the question then as you say, you know the answer. It seems that Frankie is struggling and is in a lot of discomfort as she isn't happy for you to hold her. If her abdomen is larger then it really won't be comfortable for her to move or even curl up to sleep.
It sounds as if she has been a star though, to keep going as she has been.
We need to make the decision for our fluffs so that they don't have to suffer, I would think that most of us will agree with you that the time has come to help her.
Just a comment about you saying how quickly she has gone downhill, my own vet reminded me of this recently, remember it is quick for us but a week is a long time for a hamster and so developments seem to happen very rapidly to us.
Keeping you and Frankie in my thoughts. x
