Nutmeg came to me on 24 May 2009, as a rescued hamster. I was told that Campbells are a territorial breed. And that resulted in several finger-wars with her. Nevertheless, both of us had grown to like those wars. It's our way of bonding, I guess.
Everything was going very well for her. Until I discovered a lump at her rear end a few days ago. Upon closer inspection, then I knew it didn't bode well for her. And she might have to go under the knife to remove it. So I brought her to the vet on the afternoon of 26 Sept 2009.
The vet's diagnosis was very bad - that lump was her uterus. It had slipped out of her body via her vulva. This cud be due to pregnancy or internal infection. The latter seems very likely. Altho surgery cud gave her a 50% chance to live, the operation itself is risky.
With that, I decided to put her to sleep.
