visit to the vet this morning

Our beloved, very old hamster Coco is in a bad way. Something going on in her reproductive tract, leaking blood. She’s weak, but struggling to survive. She’s tired, but doesn’t seem to be in pain, and the doc thinks it might stem from an infection (couldn’t find a tumor), so we’re giving her antibiotics.

She’s 3 years and about 3 months old, which is the longest any of our hamsters have lived, and something like the equivalent of 80 in humans. I hope she pulls through, but I’m not expecting her to be around much longer.
