I have a problem with small animal pets. For example, I had a guinea pig die, so I wrapped it in a plastic bag. While deciding what to do with it, some friends knocked on the door. I placed the bag in the pig's cage and greeted my friends. After sharing my sad news with my friends, one of them looked in the cage and said, "I think I know why your guinea pig died... you wrapped it in plastic!"
Sigh.
Why don't people take rodent pets as seriously as they do canines or felines? Are they any less alive? Doesn't all life have value?
This blog is a public posting of my attempts to maintain the health of my hamster. By providing this service, I hope to get suggestions from other people and provide a support community for others in similar situations. Many of the posts will be short, particularly the calls to my veterinarian. Yes, I actually made these phone calls. My vet is compassionate and so patient, especially since her continuing diagnosis is that it's all in my head.
