Re: My hammy has a tumour.
Dear Sarahhhh I have had tears streaming down my face reading these posts. You are so hard on yourself! You have done an amazing thing adopting your ham and letting her just be. She looks gorgeous and she will know that you are caring for her and love her. Her behaviour will be a product of her former experiences and also how she is feeling now. The decision as to whether to operate or let nature take its course (whilst she has some quality of life) is yours to take in consultation with the vet. We have had to have similar discussions about our 19 month old dwarf ham boo who has a tumour and we have decided to not operate and just keep him has happy and comfortable as we can. That is not to say that is the right decision for another ham in a similar situation. We are closely monitoring him and will see how it goes. Do keep us all posted as to how things go tomorrow and remember to be kind to yourself. X ps Your boyfriend sounds a keeper by the way!
