aww what an unusual pet and he was gorgeous what was wrong with him? how old was he? RIP little soul xxx
He was one year 7 months old, He had something wrong with his chest/neck area maybe a tumor in his throat (his mum died of a tumor on her face). He couldn't bend his neck forward and down and he was sicking up his food, so I had to grind his food to a powder and hold him even whilst he had a drink.
He used to run up to 4 miles a night in his wheel but A few weeks ago I noticed he was going really slow and he was sad, yesterday he started squeeking when he moved. The vet agreed he was in a bad way when he saw him try to walk but didn't want to try to look down his throat as he would have hurt him.
