Default Re: Hamster Euthanasia </3

Jeanbird7: You mean put them to sleep? I totally get it - it's a decision I've had to consider for months but I know in my heart it's 100% the right thing to do. The vet did offer surgery when I first took her, but the vet warned me that she may die during the surgery or after due to complications. It was a risk I wasn't willing to take, so instead I've given her a comfortable few extra months with pain relief, antibiotics, treats etc. I also didn't want poor Flo to be 2 years old, post-surgery and chewing at stitches in an attempt to keep her alive. If she was 1.5 years old I would have definitely gone for the surgery though! But she is a lil' old lady now. Thank you very much for your advice and opinion I really appreciate hearing other people's experiences and definitely makes me feel less alone! X
