Professor died today. That's two hamsters in three days. They were both older and, in hindsight, getting weaker. I took Professor to the vet the day after Phat died and she said that they were suffering from respiratory problems (very common in older hamsters). Phat just went so quick, but professor hung on for a bit. She got very weak and quiet the last day or so. We tried to give her the antibiotic treated water that the vet gave us, but she was just so weak.
We don't have many photos of professor, so when we were at the vets office the other day, I took a few photos of her with my camera phone, just in case. Glad I did.
This was her pose for most of the time before she died. She just curled up and buried her little face.
On the vet's table.
These next two were taken on the way to the vets. This was the most active Professor would be from now on. She seemed to enjoy the ride in the truck even though the vet said it could cause her to die. She made it there and back great!
Just like Phat, we had a little hamster funeral out back. Mary picked another star in the garden to bury her under.
