<p>so i found out today that my hamster has wet tail, an infection that causes extreme diarrhea with a 90% mortality rate. It usually takes seven days for the symptoms to appear (fecal matter on the tail) and death usually follows within 24-48 hours. So now i'm pretty much expecting my hamster to die by tomorrow. But if that wasn't bad enough, i'm probably going to get rejected/deferred tomorrow as well. I am not looking forward to tomorrow :(</p>
<p>I'm sorry to hear that :-(. I used to have a hamster too, I can sympathize.</p>
<p>Sounds like a miserable way to die... good luck to both you and your hamster tomorrow!</p>
<p>Oh no...I'm so sorry =(</p>
<p>I had a hamster before too. That really sucks.</p>
<p>in all seriousness, you should skip school to stay with your hamster</p>
<p>I agree with Ann Onymous.</p>
<p>i am skipping school actually, not really because of my hamster though</p>
<p>Aww that's awful. I hope you get accepted D= Something good must happen. Otherwise, that'd just be such a horrible day. Give your hamster a hug for me =<</p>
<p>I really hope you get in, Lugburz. And that your hamster gets back to normal. I'm sure God has something great planned for you, there's no way you're going to face two major negatives in one day.</p>
<p>I'm so sorry :-( give him all the love and attention you can now. There is definitely hope that he will live, but make sure he knows you love him...</p>
<p>I'm so sorry!! I want you to get in more than ever now! Or your hamster to live! Or both!</p>
<p>i vote for both!!!</p>
<p>thanks guys, i'll let you know tomorrow how she's doing.</p>
<p>I'm sorry. I was in a similar situation with my goldfish - it had been alive for like 7 years, and one day it started swimming on its side (a sign of near death). I was so distraught that I failed a couple tests and could not concentrate on anything.</p>
<p>Anyway - good luck to you and everyone else.</p>
<p>yeah...well I had to put my cat to sleep this week...he was only 6 but had a urinary problem and it cost too much to fix. So basically...this week has been absolutely horrible and I assume it'll get worse tomorrow night. Blah.</p>
