my hamster, rikku, is gone. i'm devasted.
a few weeks ago i found her slumped, barely breathing, and unsteady-i found out she must have had a stroke. i was told that sometimes they dont, but most of the times they do recover. she had been slowly improving on her own...still a little unsteady, so i removed the wheel from her cage and put her water and food closer to her little house.
i had just had her out for a little stroll a little while ago, put her back in her cage, and heard her moving around, so i assumed everything was fine. but she's gone.
and i know people will tell me i'm silly, that it's just a hamster...but i'm crushed all the same.
