Charmander 💔

My feisty little dude was adopted in early June 2022 at around 5mo. He was a little bit skittish and never did grow to like handling but he did grow to interact with us and take food from us and on Christmas day he made my Christmas when he put his little paw on my hand for the first time 🥰 on Thursday I got the fright of my life when I went hunting for him after he'd not eaten the food left out for him and found him with a bulging and dried out eye! Straight to the vets where he was seen and operated on immediately to remove the eye and became a pirate hamster 🐹 💝 he was hospitalised yesterday at my request as we were struggling with syringe feeding and I've been poorly myself this weekend so I felt much better about him being safely in the hands of a wonderful vet team! He came home last night and was exploring his cage and even ate some solid food by himself we were so hopeful! This morning however I honestly thought he'd already passed then I picked him up and he was moving and breathing still! Straight for a (very expensive) emergency vet trip he stopped breathing on the exam table but was resuscitated and stood up. They gave us a 50/50 chance and the choice between euthanasia or hospitalisation with oxygen/fluids etc. Hes never ever been a cuddly hamster but he snuggled right into my daughter this morning and as i was carrying him into the vets wrapped in a blanket he lifted his little face up and kissed me 🥰 Given he'd just been resuscitated and wanting to give him every possible chance while having no clue how or why he'd gone down so quickly we chose hospitalisation. Sadly 45mins later he ran across the rainbow bridge 🌈 😭

Sleep tight sweet little charmander! We will miss your fiesty attitude and even the nips to the finger 🥰 see you at rainbow Bridge!20220605_220818.webp20220605_131302.webp20221214_203602.webp
 
I am so sorry you have had to say goodbye to Charmander. What a stunning looking hamster he was and so very loved by your family. Sending you all hugs.
Sleep tight sweet Charmander.
 
So sorry for your loss.
Charmander was so cute 🥰
Small though they are hamsters leave a big hole in your heart.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve.
 
Oh I’m so sorry. You did all you could for him, and he clearly recognised that at the end. Holding you in my heart as you deal with your loss. Sleep tight, little man.
 
I am sorry to read this. He put up a brave fight and must have wanted to stay but he was needed at the bridge. He would have known how much he was loved. Take care of yourselves in the coming days.
Run free little one xx

Sorry that the feisty lovely Charmander has crossed to RB - he was living his best life with you all and that’s down to your care and love.
Take care
