some people have suggested that i put up a wishlist of the things that i want for my birthday, so it will be easier for them to buy something for me as they at least have that assurance that i'll like it. but i dont know why, perhaps, maybe this time i hope that it will be special and something from their hearts--and i decided not to. it seems to mean so much more if they take the trouble to really look around for the gift i suppose.
anyway, i went to the vet today because of hammie. my maid called to my attention hammie's limp left back leg which she saw being stuck in the exercise wheel when i was out. however, not only was hammie limping around the cage, she was listless and slightly emaciated. but at least she was still moving around and bites me when i carry her? now after the vet's treatment, when i try to feed her food and water, her mouth remains obstinately shut. she has also ceased to bother to nip me when i try carrying her. dunno... i just hope she'll be alright? the doctor didnt give her anything other than painkillers. and he told me if she doesnt get better within the month, its probable that she may die. he added she is also nearing her time due to old age. she's really skinny and i'm getting rather scared and worried about her.. my heart feels kinda heavy as i stand next to her cage, watching her as her heart beats so visibly hard against her chest.. and seeing her so weak and feeble as compared to before. its really really saddening. it may be the aftereffects of the injection the vet gave--mum says its probably too strong for hammie since her heart is beating so hard and i should prepare for the worst... dunno.
i must add though that veterinarian fees are sky-high and it costs even more than i pay for my own doctor fees! sigh. its only the beginning of the new month, and i'm already quite broke. =(
every day is a new day ♥
