Dear Vicki,
It was sad to have to put Poppy to sleep last week. Sadly she was struggling to breathe with what must have been an uncomfortable tumour. You definitely gave her the happiest life that you could.
Sincerely from Roland

my vet did the same and i have to say that it really helped me. its a nice gesture

Thanks, will def be hanging on to these guys for as long as possible, although I don't have any more hammies right now, and will prob be moving before I can get any more

I've had printed cards from vets before with a sort of 'insert name here' style,which is always quite nice - they don't have to send anything at all. But this was really nice, especially for a hamster, rather than cats or dogs.

I visit them quite often for work and they know me fairly well so I don't know if that had anything to do with it though. Still nice, mind.
