Hi, it's now been almost 10 days since he got diarrhea. He is STILL active, still eating, still running around. They did a fecal flotation test, and no parasites, no infections. They just told me to feed him hay and get him oxbow instead of my *bad brand* food, and no more treats, and to get him...

My chinchilla had diarrhea the past quite a few days, he's still eating, drinking, running around, but I looked in his cage and do not see any fresh poops...so I'm not sure if he's still pooping or not??? That's terrifying to me. I don't know if he stopped pooping, but the vet won't take him in...

Thanks for letting me know Amethyst! I'm going to call the vet tomorrow and ask if she can pretty please do a fecal flotation test to see if he has giardia, so that I can take care of the problem properly. He is still eating, still drinking, still running around, using his bath, excited and...

*Update* he is still eating, but it dosen't look like he's drinking at all??? That's really worrying me. I don't understand what's going on with my little guy. He is still running and playing and having fun, but his poops are still mushy + he isn't drinking from what I can see anyway? Help?

Hi, I went to the vet today with my chinchilla Dusty, because he's been having diarrhea for the past...LONG while, maybe 4-6 days. (Today was the soonest they could see him). He went in, they checked him, said he weighed 468 grams, and said that you can feel his bones a bit. They looked at his...

Hi! Sorry to not update, he was found, safe, and healthy! ^_^

He had like 5 dust baths yesterday. I let him run around the living room and he kept jumping into the bath. But I don't know. He seems energetic, eating a lot, running around still. Just little sneezes. I listened to his breathing and he isn't wheezing or anything. No mucus, no nothing. I will...

My chinchilla keeps sneezing. It's been probably 6-8 times the past 2 days. No runny nose, no watery eyes, poops are normal, he's eating regularly..Should I be worried? It seems like a lot of sneezing...??

I've looked in the hole, around the hole. I put water out there, hasnt been touched. I put dust around the hole, hasn't been touched. All I see is little mouse hands. I am missing him so much. I don't know where he could have gone at this point. Still no prints outside though, so he must be...

My posts never post but we looked everywhere with no luck. There are no tracks in the snow either so he can't be outside. We cannot find him anywhere. We've looked in and under everything, including couch, beds, dressers, etc. Any help would be awesome.. There is this huge hole in the wall...

:cry3: We looked outdoors and there are no chinchilla tracks anywhere. There is this one place in my friend's room that's this big open hole This is the big hole in our wall. I poked in it with a broom and no luck seeing any movement. But we don't think he is outside. We would have seen...

My chinchilla Dusty has gone missing. We don't know if he's indoors or outdoors or what happened. We see NO chinchilla tracks outside in the snow, but we don't hear him indoors either. All we heard once was a chewing sound in the wall, but we do have mice so I am highly doubtful that it would be...

Unfortunately he passed away last night on my lap. We do not have emergency vets in the area, the closest is hours upon hours away, and they don't see chinchillas since they're an "exotic" vet. And to Tunes, a chinchilla's condition can worsen quickly, and without signs beforehand since...

My chinchilla, Toby, is very thin. I can feel all his bones. He has mild diarrhea, better than it was, but still diarrhea. He seems tired a lot. He keeps chewing at his teeth when he sits around, or maybe grinding them, but nobody sees anything wrong with his teeth. He has been sleeping in my...
