    Chin's ears freckled? Jagged? Dry?

    They dont seem to be giving her problems, but i thought i'd ask for a second opinion regardless. I take good care of her (i try my best anyway) but she's a very nervous chin - i've had problems with her being stressed in the past and she's quite the cage chewer. She seems fine, lets me scratch...

    Grey Girl's ears worrying me.

    She's not having any problems, she's still clean (i was cleaning her cage when i took this photo), and seems fine, but her ears are ALWAYS like this. The edges are dark and jagged and she has dry skin. I've lotioned, vitamin Eed, and exfoliated her ears before - they look nice for a while, but...

    Tizoc- Fur rot, Ringworm, Injury, or Dry Skin?

    Stackie- she WAS itchy at first, but after the dustbath (with added fungal powder) she hasnt seemed itchy at all. The only real reason i've worried about a fungal infection in that spot is because she has always loved trying to bite her waterbottle- the spout ends up pressing against her head-...

    Tizoc- Fur rot, Ringworm, Injury, or Dry Skin?

    Guys, I'm not saying any of you are wrong. But here are the facts- I was in the apartment the day the spot appeared, we have no pets, no kids, no friends came over, no strangers popped in to visit, no rodents aside from her are in the apartment, and her cage is free of sharp edges for her to...

    Tizoc- Fur rot, Ringworm, Injury, or Dry Skin?

    Again, i am 100% sure there are no rodents in this apartment. I live on the second floor of a concrete building that gets rodent inspections the first week of every month. She lives in a Ferret Nation cage on seven inch stilts with a sheet of black fleece around the base and bottom level of the...

    Tizoc- Fur rot, Ringworm, Injury, or Dry Skin?

    No, we have no mice or rat problems. How would they get into her cage? o.O

    Tizoc- Fur rot, Ringworm, Injury, or Dry Skin?

    There was nothing in her cage that even resembled like she hurt herself on it. There was sparse fur here and there, but thats true of her cage all the time. She is the only chinchilla, and only PET within about a mile in any direction. I'm not sure what is going on with her, but I know it...

    Tizoc- Fur rot, Ringworm, Injury, or Dry Skin?

    I've done tons and tons of research over the past 17 hours trying to figure out what to do about my chinchilla. First off- i've had her for nearly 4 years and have never had a single problem with her AT ALL until last night. I checked on her, gave her a dried piece of banana, and gave her a...
