Poor Minnie

Our dwarf hamster, Minnie, seems to have a swollen eye. She's been quiet and acting a little crazy lately (constantly knawing on the wire cage). Our last hamster had a bump on its belly (probably a tumor) and didn't live too long after that, so I think Minnie may be approaching the end of her short little life. It's too bad because she was smart - she organized her food into different piles by seed. We'll try to make the most of the rest of her days, by giving her lots of treats and not disturbing her bedding. The eye that's shown in the photo is the one that's swollen. Poor thing.
