I'm in a rather chipper mood for one reason today- my beloved Sunny, who has been very sick over the past week and a half, is finally starting to get better. Hoorah! Sunny is my wonderful gold and white long haired Syrian hamster, and he's my "special needs" baby. Sunny has chronic lung problems and he catches colds and respiratory infections rather easily.
I put Sunny on two daily doses of Chloramphenicol, which has done wonders for him. Along with his antibiotics, Sunny has been fed nutrient rich foods like egg, yogurt, spray millet, kale, and blueberries.
I'm so thankful for my previous job experience as a Kennel Technician. My job taught me how to keep cool and calm and treat sick and injured animals professionally.
While he still has some more recovering to do, Sunny is pulling through like an absolute champion. I can't wait till he's full recovered and we can have our usual evening snuggles.
So, I would like to dedicate this post to our little Sun Buns, the little hamster that could!
