I have a chin that needs dental filing. But we are moving within one week and will take him with us on a roadtrip. I am wondering whether I should find a vet on my roadtrip so that he can get treatment as soon as possible or wait until we arrive at our destination, West Virginia, which will be...

I personally like KMS hay based on the sample I got recently, but somehow my chin is not very impressed. He is ok with the blue grass, but hardly touches the 2nd cut, even though both look really nice to me. I think he is really spoiled by the last APD hay I got for him. It's also strange to me...

I was doing my research on purchasing more hay but I find complaints on the quality of hay within recent months. For example, American Pet Diner, which used to be my chins favorite, has recently changed their package. In the new package, the hay seems to be shredded, with lots of dust and brown...

Thank you so much for this information. I feel so happy now. As for the stuff in the center, I thought it would be fun for chins to decide which part to eat or not to eat. But it sounds like it is annoying. I will pay more attention next time.

I'm so relieved to hear that. Thank you guys.

I gave my chinchilla a whole rosehip last night and I noticed while eating he had some sort of pawing motion on the sides of his mouth. He didn't look like in pain (to me) because he continued to chew and finish the rosehip like nothing was bothering him. And he ate normally last night. But I'm...

My chinchilla stopped drinking water from the beginning of this week. At the beginning, he also stopped eating pellets (he is not a big fan of pellets compared with hay anyway), but still ate a handful of hay per day, which is his normal amount. Now he starts to eat more pellets and still...

Wow this is super close to me. I didn't know there was a reliable vet this close. Thank you so much for this recommendation.

Thank you for the reply. I thought the normal cost should <$100. Hard to imagine what the bill is going be like to take multiple x rays between filings. The one including the $8 per minute for anesthesia is recommended on this forum. As far as I've heard of, that one might be the best in my...

My new adult chin has a problematic month. He has got constipation, which was cured after a vet visit. He then got watery eye, which went away by itself in one week. Now he does not drink water or eat pellets from the day before yesterday, but still loves hay. I do notice there is a small red...

I'm wondering are there reasonable priced vets in LA, especially for head x rays. I have called three places but their x ray all cost >$150. VCA asks for ~$190, Westchester Veterinary Center & Cat Clinic asks for ~$160, Avian & Exotic Animal Hospital asks for ~$110 but there is another something...

My chin tends to lose interest in hay pretty quickly. I have tried Oxbow timothy, orchard, and oat, as well as APD 1cut and 2cut. When I first got APD, he was so happy with it that as long as he smelled it, he would stop anything, even sleeping, to eat it. But even given that, within one month...

I haven't let him bath since I found him with the watery eye. But that may be the cause though because I was changing about once every week. This also reminds me that maybe I should also change his bedding a little more frequently. As for the root elongation, how is that going to be treated? I...

Hi everyone, this is my first post here and I'm feeling rather desperate at this moment. I bought this chin one month ago who was born 2012 Nov. Within the first week arriving home, he developed constipation and I brought him to the vet to have that cured. But recently (since last Friday), I...
