Oh it’s ok it was years ago! He is absolutely fine now - but for 6 months afterwards he was very weak and could hardly walk or work. It’s a bit like post viral fatigue afterwards. And obviously we had to be very careful with the whole Covid situation- OH has had pneumonia twice now! After that he got the anti pneumonia vaccine. But that only works for bacterial pneumonia. Fully recovery but no doubt he has some lung scarring.
Point is - and I know hamsters are different- but he can make a full recovery. Hamsters are always prone to respiratory infections so just extra care needed if you ever have a cold etc (ie get someone else to feed him or hand wash and wear a mask. Before Covid it would have been seen as over the top wearing a mask! But normal these days
Lovely to hear he is running around.
