Three kits born 4/17. Birth weights of 54g, 46g, 30g. Mom's milk didnt come in until 4/19. I have been rotating and handfeeding, but this little runt female just isnt doing well. I cant seem to get more than 1/2 cc into her at a feeding, and NO weight gain. Weights as of this a.m. are 66g, 57g...

Anybody have experience using the "3"? Everybody is on show right now, but ran into the distributor at the feed store and they said that Fibre3 is the newest and biggest seller currently. I have no problems with current feed, but the fibre3 is available in smaller bags which are easier for me...

I cant use blu-kote. Chin has a skin tear and I need a suggestion. Link would be great!

Torn armpit skin. Cleaned as best I could, and scab has formed. Cannot get into our vet as he is out until after XMAS and all area vets cant take us until next week. I need a couple suggestions as to what to put on this. This chin is a heavier girl and is sitting sedentary is the corner. Eating...

I have only ever had albino hedgies. I recently had the opportunity to purchase two beautiful babies from a member here, and theyre wonderful. Im having a hard time trying to distinguish my little boy's color. I know its either chocolate or brown....but which one I cant tell. I dont want to...

A friend of mine owns a herd of elk. She just gave me a couple sheds for the dogs, (they are great for them) but I was wondering if a chin could gnaw on them too? If it matters any, the herd its completely certified organic. The antler its dry, very tough, and hard.

So I went ahead and pulled the ledges from that Black Velvets cage. Not knowing her due date worries me. She has been an angel the few weeks we have had her here since rescinding her. I pulled her shelves, and she sits on the bottom now and sprays piss EVERY chance she gets and has started to...

Really long story, short- An adopter allowed a female she got from us to live with another unaltered male chin. Thats against our adoptipn contract on all different levels so I demanded the chin back. When picking up the female from her, I noticed partially cannabalized babies already in the...

Got a call from a non-local dog rescue. They got a chin in. Had a fecal run, and only thing noted was "rare, non-budding yeast" listed as precautions. They have the room and funding to keep this chin until its adoption, however they are wondering what the yeast could be, where it came from...

Rescue with eye injury was prescribed flurbiprophen yesterday. He shrieks when its given. Does this medication burn? I only ask because he also shrieks when he sees the burrito towel. And when I bag balm his dry toes. And when the cage door opens.........could go on and on :) If it does burn...

We have had this little guy for about six months now. He came in in okay shape, not terrible but not great save for the injury. He was underweight, but eating junk food. Never had hay in his two year life. He got caught between the bars of their old cage--was stuck there between two and six...

I had to buy more Mazuri than I can use this month. I wont be able to use it before a month goes by and thats too long for a bag to be open or around for me. I special order so no one else uses it nearby that I know I'm the only one who rescues in the area, so I cant donate it to anybody around...

Can anyone put together a master list for a chin first aid kit? We go through our stuff once a year and its that time again to replenish/replace. Anyone care to share whats in theirs?

My husband lost his wonderful brown last year. She was a rescue (like all of our chins) and came with a huge bag of health problems (like all of our chins, lol). She was only with us four years. He loves brown velvet and wants another. Its been hard on him having to euth so many family pets...
