Some might say "It's just a mouse", but whatever. She was part of this household. She got sick recently. We took her to the vet and got her some meds, but it wasn't enough or too late. She didn't seem to be getting any better, and today I could tell she was getting worse. We heard her make a noise from her cage, so we went over there, and she had a seizure and died right in front of us... terrible to see and to feel so helpless. That part was over pretty quick so hopefully she did not suffer too much. RIP Chauncey.

Maybe seeing someone really enjoy winning a giveaway will help cheer me up a bit... so here we go. It's a bundle game, but one that I really enjoyed and has cute animals.

Dude that's so sad. </3

I woke up to a stiff hamster this one time when I was little. :c

By the way, how old was she?

Almost a year. They typically live 1.5-2 years... but respiratory problems are really common. Especially since she was bought as a feeder mouse from an exotic pet store. We "rescued" her from being snake food.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's hard enough when I euthanize someone's pet, it's exponentially harder when it's your own. Yeah those little guys can get sick pretty easily. Know that you did what you could though.

Pathetic example of behavior. Dumb, old, lame joke, same level as "arrow to the knee" stuff, and then on this thread? Really? Grow up.

Dude!

My daughters, and mine really, pet rat died two days ago :( we had sisters and we came home from sledding to find that one had simply laid down and died. She was only young, but she was very unhappy. Not fond of people and a biter. We loved her though and the death was a tragedy. My kid is only 7, first time death has ever visited us. :(

You have my condolences, your mouse was not 'just a mouse' but a loved member of your family.

All the best :)

Gotten another hamster after it and it died also of the same condition.

Sorry for your loss, man, really. :(

And of course it's not "just a mouse" - it's a living being, however big or small it is. And one you had grown close to, besides. Also must have been hard to see her go :(. What made her sick?

Thanks Shinobi. Sadly, some people don't believe all creatures are equal in that way.

Vet said she had most likely had a respiratory infection, which can develop into pneumonia. Hard to get a full workup on mice though, even finding a vet that knows about them.

Yeah I hear you. Mice are small animals, and most people who have them as pets see them as "disposable pets" sort of, if you know what I mean by that. So, few vets know how to deal with them properly. Also very tricky to work on such a little thing when it has resp. problems. The seizure was probably, then, due to the pneumonia and fluid in the lungs :(.

More condolences to you man.

"all creatures are equal in that way"-all creatures should be equal in all ways, but most humans think that the other animals are just for us to use them.i hate those people.
Anyway I'm very sorry for what happened...

Hates a strong word. As a vet I'm all for animal welfare but the line of animal rights is sketchy.

I understand what you're saying, but I mean that I "hate" the people that think that other animals are made just for us(humans) to use them.

Every single animal should be respected. I'm against gratuitous violence

But they are there for being used not for us, but for any living being. Trying to alter that is a plain nosense.
