Hello, my chin Walt has done the exact same thing a few times. First noticed it when he was just under a year old and freaked out about it. It hasn't happened too often but when it has its always during and after he's cleaned his male parts. I spoke to my vet about it when it first happened and...
Thank you for your response. I was so worried last night. I read about bladder stones on Google and it really stressed me out. I've just never seen his urine that colour before. His appetite is low too which had me concerned but he's in good form otherwise. I'll keep an eye on his appetite.
Hello. I'm really concerned about my chin Walt. The past week I've noticed his appetite is a little off which isn't unusual for him. He can go through phases of not eating much. He's in good form and just there he enjoyed some play time running and jumping around.
I noticed one spot in his cage...
Also when washing walt do I wet him all over or just the area where the ringworm is visible. Vet said 50ml water to 1ml Imaverol. I'm just nervous about washing him
Yes the vet prescribed Imaveral but I'm afraid to wash walt in it because I've read it's bad to get a chin wet. I will wash Walt in it and hope it will clear.
To be honest I think its walt that gave the ringworm back. My partner and I are not around other animals and with covid 19 we only leave...
I have already posted on the forum regarding this.
Long story short I got two chinchillas in poor condition and covered in ringworm. Disney passed away and left his brother walt with us.
Walt will be 8 months old the end of the week and in that time he's had ringworm for about 6 of those...
Hi all,
My chinchilla Walt has had a weeping eye since I got him. His vet treated him with two types of eye drops and it did not seem to clear up. The vet said he possibly has a blocked tear duct. Is this something a chin can suffer with?
Walt is due a check up because he unfortunately had a...
Hello so this is my second time posting about ringworm.
For the past 4 months it has gone wild throughout my home and although I’m doing all the things I’m meant to be doing I still can’t get rid of it. I am disinfecting the whole house daily. I’m using tinactin in Walt’s sand baths and cleaning...
Thank you for your response. The vet put them on the oral anti fungal because the anti fungal cream was not working it was such a serious problem and poor disney for some reason lost his life due to it. Disney was covered in it and had a huge raised lump on his neck from it.
In Ireland it's so...
Hello I need some advice regarding ringworm. I got two baby chins two months ago and three days into having them I noticed one of them (Disney) was starting to lose hair around his nose. Turns out they had pretty bad ringworm.
Sadly we lost Disney 3 weeks ago. Walt his brother finished his 28...
That's great I will order that too.
I just don't want to make any mistakes with their diet. I want to have everything perfect so they don't get dental issues like my last chin frizzles did but I also don't want to be upsetting their tummies either
