Hi, my name is Nat
My boyfriend bought me a hamster 4 weeks ago
I was really happy to get him I named him Albert.
I love animals I knew I was going to get attached but I was okay with it, I feel in love with him I felt as he was one of my best friends I wanted him to sleep on my hand and trust me.
Within time we were great friends, I hold him often fed him let him run around he was so happy. I'm 24 when I got him which I feel stupid I did not educate myself about these animals
the next day after I got him, he started having a crusty eye I cleaned it hoping it would go away
it did go away I check for wet tail he did not have it.
Until one day I picked him up and something told me to look at his bum, and I knew he had gotten wet tail which I heard about it that u need medication and it's serious.
The same day ran to the vet but she said u have to go far because they don't deal with hamsters some don't.
Albert couldn't wait, it was too far he needed it immediately I couldn't wait. I went for medication I got it but when I ran home he died.
my Albert didn't make it he was half dead. I don't know, my boyfriend had to get him out of his suffering. I didn't know I'm so mixed up I could have saved him. Did I kill him, is it my fault. I blame myself, it's all my fault he's dead I could have saved him.
But I didn't or I couldn't; I miss my baby Albert so much, I miss him so much again, he was a baby I don't know if the guy I got him from didn't. clean his cage but I did I don't know.
That is my story rip Albert.
