I took Remi to the vet last Saturday and had his teeth worked on ( he had been drooling). They trimmed his teeth and gave him a Baytril shot. They sent me home with a bottle of the stuff and ordered to give it to him every 12 hours. I have done so and now Remi has become sick. He has stopped...

I noticed today that Remi's fur was missing on his left arm. I am not sure why or if he is in any pain. He doesn't appear to be and his skin does not look angry or red. He obviously pulled it out or licked it off but I don't know why. Any ideas why and how to help him to stop? Or what I can put...

Does anyone know of a chin vet in the Tampa Clearwater area?

I hope this is the right area to ask. It pertains to a hair ring check I did on Remi this morning. It had been about three weeks since I checked ( I know I should have checked sooner but he has been clear so far). When I went to check him I found he had bulges under his skin that were on each...

Didn't know if this was the right location to mention this topic but thought I would pass along my experience. Called VPI pet insurance today to see if I could afford to get insurance for Remi and found the coverage is about $12 a month! Having one chin and two cats I found that an excellent...

I hope this is not too stupid of a question but I was looking at my chin Remi's eyes this morning. They look solid black to me and was wondering if anyone might know why a chinchilla's eyes are black. How well they can see and if they can see all of the colors of the spectrum. I assume they can...

Re:Blowing Air I Have a question. What is considered too much blowing air for a Chin? I know that just blowing air on one at room temperature will do nothing for them as they do not sweat, but what about chilled air? We have set up a dedicated A/C for our chin's cage and we have a diffuser...

My chin Remi is a pumice fanatic. I buy him the plain ones and hang one in his cage and he ends up finishing it in about 30 minutes! It seems it is his favorite chew. Problem is I cannot find it here where I live very easily. I bought the natural pumice pieces but he wont touch them. Only the...

I got my chin Remi about a month ago and found that the food that came with him from his previous owner was for a guinea pigs called Nutriphase. I bought some PANR so I could transition him off of it as I figured it was probably not the best suited for him. I am now down to 25% old stuff and 75%...

Some time ago my husband had a bright idea. He wanted to get a chinchilla. He had seen them in the wild while growing up in Eastern Oregon and thought it would be great to have one as a pet. On that day he saw one in a pet store. I thought it was a great idea but we lived in a tiny apartment and...
