Stroke
I am very very unhappy right now. At Christmas my husband’s sister gave us two hamster’s, which I love. (we bought snowflake later) Autumn a mommy who’s age I have no clue of, and Alvin, who was supposed to be a young hamster. Well, Alvin is not a young hamster. Alvin is an OLD hamster. Alvin has had a stroke. As I sit here typing this Alvin is sitting here with me. I want so bad to fix it but I can’t. Alvin will most likely die soon of old age and because of the stroke
He can hardly move and there is nothing I can do to fix it
We will get a baby hamster (or maybe a couple of baby dwarf Russian hamsters) to replace him. It’s horrible though as he was supposed to be young meaning no chance of death anytime soon. The worst thing is I don’t know if my sister in law lied to us or the pet store lied to her.
Poor Alvin. Here is what he looked like when he first came into our home.
Update: 4:50pm Alvin passed away

I’m so sorry. We had a guinea pig that we really enjoyed having around, and the same thing happened to him.
Sorry about Alvin!
I was so sorry to read about this. I pray it all ends quickly. I had a parakeet that hung on for a week and it was so sad and such a helpless feeling for me. I don’t think “old age” is always the cause of a stroke. Not in people OR animals. Could just be a fluke in his little body.
awww sorry about Alvin!
So sorry
Sorry to hear that… Aww…
