Esther - I've made a similar mistake and it resulted in the death of my favorite
little black gerbil, Jeremiah, and the maiming of my recently deceased Spot-Spot.
It's really hard to live with making these type of mistakes because we are responsible
for these little critters. If I could undo the damage I'd do it in a heartbeat. Best
I can do is to learn from this and make sure it is not repeated.
