    Tunes, your hay only idea for a few days is great because he loves hay and he might actually eat the good pellets when we return to actual food, I will try that! He is now 100% recovered, he is jumping, running, as curious as ever, begging for playtime all night, eating regularly, bathing and...

    Thank you for the very good and welcomed advice Amethyst, I have been reading up and it seems we have to change our diet as we are a senior and I don't want to harm him.

    Loss of motor control, general disorientation?

    Our chin never had any problems in his life, never took any medicine and never went to a vet as he was always great, playful and active. Never even had diarrhea, colds or anything like this. After these 5 treatments, he is not so confused anymore, still eating and drinking, sleeping a lot, not...

    Loss of motor control, general disorientation?

    Hey Godofgods! Thank you for your reply! Whenever I came to work one evening, I found my 14 year old chin lying on his left side, sleeping at the bottom of the cage. This is very unusual for him as he usually spends most of his time in the upper side of the cage. When I called him, he woke up...
