    Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

    I don’t know what to do, he looks so poorly but if I take him to the vets and they put him down when he is just having maybe got a bug or something however he’s had this for a few times and this time his hair is falling out, he’s so shaky and has a lump or a spot on his back :( he’s also loosing fur around his eyes 😭

    @River oh no river, that's one of the worst things that a person can go through. Which one is it can I ask?

    @River if you take him to the vet's, they won't forcibly put him down I don't think. They'll advise it if they think it's needed, and it might just be a bug, and old age combined. It's worth seeing the vets, just to check up and they won't put him down without your permission if they think it's needed

    @River that sounds horrible. As i say, they won't put him down without consent. They might advice it if they think it's needed, but they won't force it. For all we know, it's a recurring bug, or a medical issue that can be solved by the vets. It's only a last resort putting an animal down, and they'll try everything else first. Worst case scenario, they confirm your worst fears which you already suspect and you can leave the vets with him, best case scenario, they are able to heal him up back to his normal hamster self.

    @River ChatGTP is for nerds. I told DeepAI the symptoms you told me and it said this instead. Either way, only a vet knows for sure if it's treatable or not, and they won't do anything without permission. I'm so sorry your facing this right now river.

    @River yeah, those additional symptoms I didn't know. DeepAI agrees when I told it. I'm so so sorry. The best thing to do, is take him to the vet, and see if anything can be done. You don't have to go with there advice to put him down if they advice that, and you might be given advice on how to ease him or make him feel better, even a little bit, or they might even find it's potentially curable, but a vet is the best option. But either way, it's best to prepare just in case. I'm so so sorry. I wish i could tell you he'll be okay but i can't. The best thing to do, is make him comfortable until he see's a vet. I'm so so sorry river.

    I know he’s just a hamster and I have others but I spent everyday training him to trust me as I don’t think hands were very gentle before he came to me :( I’d peel and hand feed him treats that he loved, I’d hold his bottle whilst he drank :(

    @River nothing I say will make any difference, but I bet you've been the best hamster parent a hamster could ever wish for, and he's grateful to you. Just try and comfort him if you can, until you see the vets and find out what they advise. You've been a ray of kindness in his life he hasn't had before, and you made him happy. Focus on keeping the little fella happy for now, and wait until the vet's judgement, whatever it might be. There's every chance he might be saveable. Just wait until the vet says what they think, and you can see what options exist from there.
