My sister's hamster in ICU

We've just received word that my sister's hamster, Mr. Nibble Teeth, was in an excercise wheel accident and is not expected to make it through the night. We are really freaked out about this and are rushing into the other room to gather around his aquarium. The vet told us that all we can do is make Mr. NT comfortable and to pray. I am in charge of putting fresh cedar chips around him so as to make his final minutes on earth as comfortable as possible.

Mr. Nibble Teeth was a lifelong bachelor. He enjoyed Bach, Beethoven and The Beatles.

Mr. Nibble Teeth:
Born a hamster.
Died a gentleman.

He's hanging in. I am hoping for a miracle. The corners of Mr. Nibble Teeth's mouth are curled, almost smile-like.

Mr. Nibble Teeth loved to laugh. He would LOVE that we are laughing now. I am going to go walk over to his aquarium and laugh, so he can hear our laughter.

Craig, THANK YOU! I turned up the speakers on my computer which is half a house away from what was supposed to be Mr. Nibble Teeth's Death Aquarium. And he has woken up! The vet says it's a miracle!

I would like to thank everybody for the attention they gave me in this thread tonight!

Ahhh, Namo, while Nibbly is still smiling I think you need to find a Ziploc Bag. One of those heavyduty freezer types. Place the rodent in the bag, seal tightly getting out all that nasty air, then place in the freezer. Your little Mister will be there smiling every time you reach for an ice cube.

Po' Namo.

I had a cat...I mean dog....that fell out the window and I went through hell.

The healing power of attention is an amazing thing, Namo. My best to you, your sister, and the little furry one.

Anyone else find it offensive the hamsters are yelling "HO! HO!"

Even though the doctor said Mr. Nibble Teeth has to get his rest, he is throwing his little paws in the air and doing a small version of The Hampster Dance. I have never felt such relief.

I don't know. I'm having premonitions. My voices are telling me something bad may still happen to that hamster.

I think everyone should redouble their prayer efforts.

Does anyone have access to an internet prayer circle?

Reach out and touch. Somebody's hand. Make this world a better place... if you can...

They aren;t saying "HO!"? It must be my perverse mind...
