I am so so sorry. You must be in shock. Cupcake had the most wonderful life with you. Your bond was beautiful. I could tell how much you loved her and she knew that. I am in tears as I really feel for you. I hope you will allow us to support you.

I am so so sorry to read this and can feel your anguish having lost so many female dwarfs myself.

I now have a house full of males because i can't face losing another female dwarf to gynea problems.

You've done everything you could and getting Cupcake to a vet sooner wouldn't have made any difference. Dwarfies are so small and an illness takes over their whole body very quickly.

All you can do now is to remember all the good times you had with Cupcake and the wonderful life you gave her.

Play well at the bridge Cupcake. Pearl is waiting for you.

I am so sorry for your loss of beautiful little cupcake, what an enormous shock for you. She was such a cute hamster and you were always so caring, she knew she was well loved. Hold close all the lovely photos and memories you have together. Take care

I miss her a lot, sorry for the lack of replies. It was a rough week all around, a lot of nonsense at work. I wish I'd checked her a day sooner, she would still be here. Cupcake had such a great personality, so assertive and adventurous. I'm really glad we had that last big adventure, it was a joy to have her exploring around the bed for half an hour. She really loved my room, didn't care for treats while she was in it, just loved exploring and being in it.

I wish she were still here, we were in such a good place together. We were able to play without her getting scared, and she actually started looking for me sometimes. She was cute to the end, she always seemed to refuse admitting she wanted to spend time with me. Her little bluff charge was always so cute, or immediately rolling in the sand bath after each adventure.

I really do hope there is something afterward this life, and we can meet again.

ilguy, go on the Forum and click on Memorials then read the first thread called "The Rainbow Bridge".

It will make you cry but it may also make you feel better.

I really do not think you taking Cupcake to the vet sooner could have made a difference. Please do not blame yourself. You rescued Cupcake and gave her a wonderful, happy life. She loved you.

Sorry to hear it has been a rough week at work. That is the last thing you need.

And the worst happened, Cupcake is no longer with us. She passed overnight.

I am very sorry for your loss. I know what you're going through

And yes, it's true that it's difficult to find vets that are open 24/7. In my city there's only one and they don't take hamsters. Other than that you just have to wait. One of the most important things to know is that most vets don't see hamsters and some of them pretty much see hamster for the first time ever and once I went to a checkup with Bogie, because he was screaming randomly while he was sleeping and they literally knew nothing about hamsters. It can be also difficult to book a time for any rodent. In my city there seems to be only one vet that knows about hamsters and they were all booked. I was so glad somebody cancelled their appointment.
