little pudding has gone to its paradise already :(
:(
5 days ago, it developed a tumor at its belly.. which eventually grew quite rapidly.
i have sought help from the people at the pet shops, but they told me it's quite normal for hammies that are almost 2 years old to fall ill and die of old age (they only live ~1+ to 2 years)
Surgery is not recommended, so i just left it and tried to let pudding enjoy its last days happily.
:(
though it didnt seem very happy cos the swollen lump obstructed its activity. It couldnt run on its wheel.. and on the last day which was friday night, it wasnt even eating. i think it's too depressed to :(
Kaya told me her office pet managed to live quite long despite a swollen and bleeding tumor. The hair dropped off but it was still alive after a month! But pudding didnt have that kind of luck.. or should i say i'm glad pudding didnt?
Cos it still has its nice hair and wasnt bleeding (so i think it didnt suffer as much as if it bled?) so it died a beautiful hamster still.....
On the night before its death, pudding was lying in the cage with her eyes wide open. She wasnt moving much already and i felt really upset not being able to help at all. I could only stroke her little head to show her i was by her side, and let her listen to her favourite song, "First of May" by Olivia, hahaa... (cos only that song can calm her down, hee...)
And in the morning, when i woke up, pudding has already left :(
i didnt cry after its death, but i did on its last night. Somehow, i just knew it would go soon. And jayen and i prayed to God to deliver her that night.. (dunno about pets, but i think He did =)
omg, i'm starting to miss little pudding already :(
i will always remember her as our love pet and how it managed to stay in my bedroom undetected for almost 2 years! haha~
