Maisy.

Maisy (the beautiful gerbil pictured above) is very sick. She has to stay at the vets overnight and stuff so they can inject her with things and stuff to try and make her better. There's quite a big chance that she wont survive. I really hope they can save her. =/

I'm glad it was the male vet that saw her. I fully trust him to look after her properly because he's really good with rodents and stuff. He helped fix Morrissey and unlike the female vet that works there, he never once tried to talk me into euthanasia.

It was horrible when I found Maisy earlier. She was just lying in the green house thing. Usually when I open the cage door, she's the first one to come running out to me. She didn't move today. I tried everything to get her to move even just a little bit. I even put a sunflower seed right in front of her face and she didn't even seem to notice. Her eyes weren't even open. I ended up lifting up the house and kind of tipping her out of it. When she was out of the house she just lay there on the floor with her eyes closed. I could see that her breathing made bigger movements than it should. I phoned the vets and they said to take her straight there. Her symptoms are very similar to the symptoms Morrissey had when he had pneumonia. When I picked her up, she was all limp in my hand and she was quite cold. I could also feel her bones in her back. =[ I hate how quickly they deteriorate. Maisy was absolutely fine the day before yesterday. Then I gradually started to see less of Maisy and more of Doris... Then this. =[

I'm really worried about her. I'm also worried about Doris because ever since Maisy has been away from her she's been acting all sad. She's very lonely. The gerbilarium doesn't look right with only one gerbil in it.

But hopefully she'll get better. I can't wait for about 9am when I'll be able to get an update on how she's doing.

I really, really, really hope the vet will be able to fix her... He's been amazing with both Polly and Morrissey in the past, so I have faith in him. I kind of have a bad feeling about Maisy though. Gerbils are so tiny. =/

*Crosses fingers for Maisy to get better*
