Lexy - not sure what to do U/D she's gone Empty Lexy - not sure what to do

Post by Sue_pawz Sat Apr 27, 2013 8:52 pm

Lexy is very unwell. She is unsteady on her feet and you can see in her eyes she just isn't right.

I don't know what to do. If we take her to the vet, it's a one way trip Sad I don't know if we should go now, or if she can hang on. I don't know if she's in pain - she isn't squeaking and lets us stroke her. And she is eating.

I don't know what's best for her Sad

It is very hard but sometimes all you can do is be with her. Hugs

I can only tell you what I would do.... if she seems to be comfortable, I think I would just leave her for now.

Keep us posted Hugs

We have left her be. When I left her, she had fallen asleep in her food store corner. I put her some bedding in the corner as she felt a little cold. She barely stirred. I don't think she'll be with us in the morning.

Crying or Very sad

It's horrible when sometimes all you can do, and the best thing to do, is nothing.

I hope she has a peaceful night Hugs Hugs Hugs Hugs

She's still with us, but only just. When I went in this morning, she was curled in a tight ball. She barely stirred as I picked her up - her little nose twitched and her paws moved a little, and she was breathing but she didn't open her eyes.

I gave her a kiss and we've put her back to sleep.

The pyometra has finally caught up with her - she's done so well to last this long with it.

Love you little bear x

Well, our lexy bear is hanging in there. We keep checking her, and she stirs a little as we stroke her. I'm astounded she's still here to be honest. We're trying to keep her warm and comfortable, poor little sweetie.

We appreciate the vibes x

Lexy went to the bridge this afternoon.

She hung on bravely, I've never known a hamster with such fight!

While we're obviously sad, we are pleased she's at peace, and that she was able to die in her sleep at home.

We'll get her a plant and bury her tomorrow.

Thanks for the vibes all x

I'm so sorry, Sue Sad

Lexy is at peace now and had a wonderful life with you guys. She was clearly much loved and will be sadly missed.
