Hmm makes me wonder because chinny number 2 has started eating less. I'm going to bring them both in this time and make sure they do a parasite test. Thanks. Could explain it. Is there meds to rid them of parasites? Also how do they get parasites?

Not that i'm aware of....what does that look for?

Hi Friends, Here is a quick synopsis of what i've been dealing with lately with my soon to be 6 yr old chinny. Dusty started eating significantly less, like from 2 Tbsp to 3/4 a Tbsp. So I took him in for teeth check and an expensive blood pannel. His teeth weren't bad, she barely filed...

The vet did not do xray and he is already awake from what i was just told. She did take blood but I have not given the OK to do the panel yet. He is eating about 3/4 a tablespoon and lots of hay. He has however lost a little weight from Sunday to today. I'll speak with her today. He's a feisty...

Hi Everyone, I was on here a lot about a year back with my chinny Raisin going through teeth problems and then GI stasis. We put him down May2010. Well now his cage mate Dusty is having some trouble. He stopped eating as much about 2 weeks ago, but still ate hay, hay cubes, and drank water...

Thank you to everyone for the encouragement and kind words. It honestly makes me feel better to have support and to know I did right by him. For now, i'm just spending lots of time with my fiance and parents and working hard to build a stronger bond with Dusty and Houdini. Keeping busy seems to...

I am so sorry for your loss. i just lost my little angel last night. It's hard to get through.

My poor poor little Raisin, who fought like a champ against malo and GI stasis for nearly 6th months is gone. He had been going up and down, but never appeared to be in pain, still eating and acting playful. He was on medicine and subcu fluids for a long time though. Last night he started acting...

Thanks for the encouragement. I would take him to the vet, but in all honesty, we've been through this all so much and they'll just tell me the same thing they always do for a high price. I have some Reglan left over and some cisapride, so I started him on those last night as well as keeping him...

Hi Everyone, So my chin Raisin was pretty sick back in beginning of December with tooth problems and GI stasis. Well, he's been doing quite well, still gets syringe feedings as well as eating some of his own pellets. He still never went back to drinking from his water bottle so we give him ~45...

Oh there is no doubt in my mind that my boys are boys. They have the man junk and I do hair ring checks. But yes, my boy can spray.

Ya, i'm just kind of ignoring it, since nothing else seems to be wrong. I tried to get my 2 boys back together, but they faught and sprayed each other....I don't know. I'll just play it out.

So for the last 3 weeks or so, my chinny Dusty has been making this LOUD squeal. It's not the barking noise they make when scared or caught off guard, I know what that one means. This is just a loud screech, like he's in pain. He does it EVERY night at about the SAME time, between 3:30 and 5:30...

Hi Everyone, I havn't been online to much lately as I just started a new internship at a local hospital. I just wanted to update everyone on Raisin's status! We had a little set back around Christmas as I switched from fine grind critical care to regular grind critical care. He went back into...

I'm so happy to hear he is making poopies! It sounds like you have been working really hard!
