Re: Syrian with loss of use of back legs, (video included)
I didn't assume that was her cage but the dangers of fluffy bedding still stand.
It is not for any of us to make that hard decision for you. While that is a basic "checklist", each hammy is different and we have to also consider quality of life. The ears back is an indicator of pain or discomfort though, they have them flat upon waking but should perk up quickly so I'd be concerned she may be uncomfortable from that. As I said as prey animals, they hide things welk
It is hard decision to make and we have all been there. Often you get a feeling and just "know", but sometimes our love is so strong it can muddy our instincts.
We are all here to support and offer advice x
