Yesterday, with a heavy heart, we decided to take Biscuit to the vet because she was very lethargic and had swellings in her pouch and abdomen, and was losing hair. Vet told us it was Cushing’s disease, for which there’s no treatment so we had her put to rest to save her from suffering any more. She was a good age for a hamster though, we’ve had her almost 2 years and she wasn’t a baby when get got her.
