If you read my previous post it was about my hamster Skittles having a lump by her ear that had a scab. I was actually able to get her in the next day after I posted, saturday the 14th. At the vet they found that she had a tumor that was cancerous. The vet told me I had two options which were to put her down or take her home for a little until she got vertigo and would have to be put down. She said surgery wasn’t an option as it’s a difficult thing to do on hamsters and would require taking her whole left ear off. I made the very difficult decision to put skittles down. It was so hard and it still is so hard I haven’t touched her enclosure since. It also hurts more that she passed away exactly two months after my other hamster. I was able to take her home, get her paw prints and bury her next to her sister Scout (my other hamster). It’s been so difficult and it’s weird the emptiness I feel without her or scout. Many of you were so kind to send positive wishes so I thought I would update you.
