Goodnight, tiny Thor 💕 🌈

Today I had to say goodbye 👋 to the littlest guy with the biggest personality ❤️ 🐹

Thor had an abscess removed on Tuesday and seemed to be doing well. He was eating and running and coming out to visit whenever he heard me.

I had noticed some new health ❤️‍🩹 issues since December- he was having more trouble staying balanced/ upright and climbing on things. He also had more, unexplained itching and fur loss (tested for mites, removed many things from his enclosure to ensure it wasn’t allergies). He had lost weight, so I was feeding him baby food each morning and night with his antibiotic, which we ate with excitement 🤩

This morning, when I went to get his dirty plate and replace it with fresh baby food, I noticed he hadn’t touched it. Then I saw him laying there, behind his wheel, still alive but his eyes closed.

I scooped him up and kept him warm for a while, I figured there wasn’t much else the vet could do, but after a little while I decided to take him in to the ER 🚨 🏥 , in case he was in pain. But by the time we got out of the driveway and down the road a few minutes, I looked over at him and he was gone 😢

I only had Thor for about nine months. Prior to that he lived in a tiny cage at Pet Supplies Plus for 7-8 months until he was discounted to $3 😔

Thor was a bright addition to my day ☀️ and I’m so glad I got to give him a chance to live a life outside of that tiny, pet store box 📦 I wish I had had more time to know him, but so thankful for the time I had.

Sweet dreams, little guy 💭 🐹 💕
