Lulu is actually not a fat fat

For the past two days we suspected Lulu was having a wet tail, so we brought her to the vet expecting some quick diagnose and get medicine.

But the first thing the vet said was: "the first thing I notice here is that why Lulu's food pouch so big? That's abnormal". And then both of us were like "Really??? But we thought she's fat and she has been looking like this for a very long time!".

To our horror, the vet suspected Lulu's food pouch was infected because of constant storing of food.

I will post the video up after I have time to edit, it was like an endless loop of stored food "vomiting" out of Lulu's mouth as the vet pushed the food out from Lulu's cheek. Mummy got freaked out and anxious so me and the vet asked her to go outside. Looking back at the video Mummy still screamed.
When about 60% of the food were out, we could smell the foul rotten food :(

Greedy greedy Lulu!

Anyways, this is how Lulu looks like now:
Exhausted after being "squeezed"

Mummy says she looks like she has gotten a new haircut XD

Now she looks just like any other normal hamsters!!! Apparently her pouch was oversize with extravagant amount of food T_T We have no idea T_T

How she looks like when she had a humongous pouch:

What a huge difference!!!!

So Lulu is now on 0.1ml antibiotic once a day, and seems like she does not have any wet tail symptom, we have changed the wood-shred bedding and even cage for her.

Happy to have Lulu the cute greedy hamster as our daughter <3 We will watch her food intake from now on. Mimi was not this greedy so she never had the wide-face look :)
