With great sadness, I have to report that our sweet, sweet Momma gerbil passed away this afternoon. We rescued her a little over a year so we aren't sure how old she was, but she became very ill Thursday and after two visits to the vet and a lot of medication and two sleepless nights by myself and Jason we felt she was not improving. It seemed cruel to keep forcing her to take meds that were only going to keep her barely hanging on to only stay sick and in pain, so we made to decision to have her put to sleep. We stayed with her the whole time and held her as she went to sleep.
Momma is now in a place with an endless supply of sunflower seeds and toilet paper tubes to chew up.
Momma raised eight pups and brought us a lot of joy and sweet moments in the time we had her. She'll always have a special spot in our hearts and she will be greatly missed.
