Cappu

Today, I heard the most terrifying sound in my life ever. It was very painful, and heartbreaking. A few seconds after I walked into the house tonight, Cappu started convulsing. Then he stopped moving for awhile (I think he got stuck between his cube and tube - oops that rhymes) and then he suddenly started screaming.

I've never heard a hamster nor any animal scream before, and my heart froze. The sound was so shrill, and he was suffering so bad!! I never want to hear that again in my life ): He started flying all over his cage while screaming in pain, and hitting the walls really hard. I just dropped my bag and handphone on the floor while running to his cage, and jerked up the removable top layer of his cage.

His seizures were so bad he started flying / jerking across the floor once the cage was lifted, and I had to grab him. The poor baby had his mouth open wide, probably gasping for air, and I could see both his teeth and tongue... Poor baby. He kept struggling, and I was worried he'd bite his tongue so I held him against my shirt. He was drooling again.

I'm so scared I might lose him, and with Billy so old... ): sad.

Anyway, also noted that the seizures only began after his surgery at the vet. I wonder if they left some tool or thing inside his wound? What's hurting him so much?
