This morning, after bringing Mimi to the vet, she passed away over the counter. We think it's approximately around 10:30-10:50am.
She received antibiotic dosage. I thought she'll be completely fine after that. But while making the payment we realised she wasn't moving at all. I touched her leg and called out "Mimi". She was still soft by then. The vet picked her up, and announced that she's gone.
We think it's her time, as she behaved weirdly for the past 2 or 3 days. I think I should have been able to give more attention, when she was sleeping non-stop for the whole day or more.
She was still able to eat and drink and ran about inside the pokeball until yesterday morning (2nd May). Last night when we returned home from work at night, we were freaked out as she panted and breathed heavily, unable to stand up at all, and struggled while lying on her back.
After reading online hamster forum, I was convinced that after taking antibiotic medication she would be fine. So that moment when she was pronounced dead after taking the medication, I was completely taken aback. I didn't expect her to leave us this way unexpectedly. I cried like mad. Wifey was strong, and managed to buy the tools and headed off to public park. We cremated her at the ground with a nice view facing the fountain.
I chanted medicine Buddha mantra along the way and Mummy played the Great Compassion mantra for Mimi.
Rest in peace Mimi, you were such a good girl, may you have a good rebirth in many lives to come, may be we will meet again soon. Be close to Buddha's path and be enlightened.
