So, Reba asked what did Leo think. Leo thought at the first opportunity that they looked yummy. Hannah was holding Speckles yesterday morning and lunged at her and got her. His tooth must have hit her eye just right (... or maybe that's just wrong) and her eye popped out!!
After a few hours of wondering do we cut it off - leave it hanging - and consulting ER doctors and finally a vet (one of Hannah & Abe's friends mom is a vet) and she was going to take her in today and gas her and cut it off and stitch her eye shut - but thought this morning that she looked really good and we should leave well enough alone. We are going to let it shrivel up like an umbilical cord and fall off.
Hannah want's to know if anyone can sew a little hamster eye patch?
Yuck! We are all suitably mortified, though mostly surprised that it survived. Maybe Leo was going for modified caviar? ;-) Love the eyepatch idea. I'm sure A would be thrilled to make one!
ReplyDelete"Shrivel up like an umbilical cord"?! I think that's pretty gross to watch on Cora... I can't imagine watching that happen to a hamster's eyeball. Yuck! Don't post any pictures of it, okay? :-)
