Silver my gerbil had a mass that had been getting bigger and bigger for the past few months. It hadn't been affecting his behaviour or appetite at all until about an hour ago when i noticed he didn't look well at all. I gave him some metacam but I think the stress of me doing that tipped him over the edge and he seized and died a few minutes later before it will have even kicked in, I feel so guilty like me stressing him out with medication made it worse and he spent the last bit of his life stressed :cry: And his brother trying to wake him is breaking my heart
 
Oh I'm so so sorry :'(

I'm sure you didn't stress him out, it sounds like it was going to happen, please don't blame yourself :(

It's heartbreaking watching bonded animals try to wake them or understand :'(

I'm so sorry, hugs xxx

I am really sorry :cry: It must have been a very distressing event to witness :cry:

RIP Silver xx

I'm so sorry :( You was doing what you thought was best for him. I lost both my gerbils to scent gland tumours, one was much worst than the others but I made the decision to have them put to sleep at the same time, I always wonder if that was the right decision :( I hope his brother is coping ok xx
