Itsy

I was cleaning out Itsy's cage when I noticed Itsy, my dwarf hamster, has only one eye. His right eye is closed so tightly that I couldn't even find the slit. I have been so busy, only feeding him, I do not know when this happened. I now see his right ear is also blocked by a growth, perhaps a tumour. He has been staying in the corner of his cage the past few days, not moving much and sleeping a lot. I thought it is just old age since he is almost 2 years old, short of 2 days. My heart sank with the thought that his days are numbered.
