Juno, my wonderful little hamster, had to be put to sleep this morning.
We had been back and forth to the vet with her, eventually leading to a diagnosis of an abdominal tumour that was not going to get better. After finding her cage splattered with blood on Sunday, Jason and I decided to take her to the vet for the last time on Monday.
We had been warned that deterioration would occur, especially at her age (2 and a half), but I still felt shock and anger at her being taken from me.
The vet was very understanding and very professional.
I plan to post an entry about Juno's life and personality when I feel up to it. For now, all I can say is say goodbye, my darling.
I'm so sorry. It sounds like you did the right thing by having her put to sleep, even though I know how hard it is to do it. Having companion animals is such a wonderful thing, but times like this are just heartbreaking.
She looks like a gorgeous little girl. I'm sure she had a great life with you and was very loved. :)
