You will know should the time come when she needs to be helped on her way but until then enjoy every minute you have left with her.
Thank you for your message. It's really nice to know that you'd have picked the same option as well! I read somewhere that Metacam isn't supposed to be given long-term but I would disagree if it manages the pain.

Exactly, I feel so much more at ease knowing that she has it. It's a sad thought that when a hamster shows signs of pain, you know that they're badly in pain - I'm so glad it didn't have to come to that point.

Really appreciate the support. Once again, thank you so much x
