My chinchilla is slightly inflammed around the eye (the skin is pink). I gave her a dust bath three days ago and it doesn't seem to get better. Is there anyway of helping it heal? What eye drop should I use to clear her eye?

I would say the chins may carry traits from their parents, though treatment will have a major impact in the way they behave. Sure, if you only feed the chin and do little with him/her (meaning play around with the chin or give it attention), he/she might still not be all that sociable. They are...

I just hate it when people always blame me for not being prepared. That's I'll I've been getting. That's why I've been asking for advice all this time, or that was my attempt. I know I don't have a carrier, I should have one but I don't. It really wasn't on my mind to buy one either. So why...

I'm not yelling poor me to the whole world. You're busy too, it's like you're working 24 hours day, om my. It's just one little thing that hasn't been on my mind, that's all. Yeah I've made mistakes before, lots of them, and I regret them fully. I was asking something other than a carrier and...

Haha, my parents are the ones who bring food home, obviously. Plus it's not like I'm in old clothes, pff, as if. And I do prefer doing this appointment soon cause next week I might barely be in the house and tests will be on it's way. There's no need to put it off some other day. And what if...

I give up. I ask for ideas and now I get lectures. All I asked for was ideas, nothing dramatic. I know I should have a ... carrier *before* going to the vet. But oh! I just made an appointment like two days ago and I had to squeeze that in my super tight schedule because I love my chin too much...

Never mind replying if you gonna tell me that I should buy something out in the city; I do not drive and i have school during the day. As for the animal carrier, I have none or I would have used it. I have no cats and my dog as high as my knee. It's not an emergency, though I still need to bring...

I don't have any carrier cages of any kind or I would have obviously used it. My chin would get out of a laudry basket quickly, he's way smarter than you might think he is. And he wouldn't even stay in there for a second, trust me on that. I was just giving an idea and want more. I was thinking...

Okay, I had no idea where I could put this post, I thought putting it here was the best place. So yeah, my chin is going to the vet. Nothing serious, just a check-up on his hind legs since he has those kind of white bubbles on them and I have no idea what it might be. Rather then leaving him...

Thanks guys really much. It's weird not having him the house anymore, I sometimes forget he's no longer alive and expect him to be in his cage. It saddens me to see his cage empty when I come to feed him or see him. Especially not having him in my arms anymore. And I really sorry for putting...

Thanks guys. I wish they would show their pain. If only I knew some time earlier would he still be alive (maybe).

Hey guys, it's time I gave you an update. The vets in Quebec City had some kind of stupid meeting and wouldn't be open until Tuesday night. So my mom called vets around Quebec to see if there were any open on Saturday. Most of the vets were on vacation. We almost gave up when we called...

Quebec, Qc, Canada

My chinchilla is finally drinking. Thank god for that. Hid ears and paws are not hot. Still he remains motionless. We called the vet. They don't treat rodents. My parents called another vet, they haven't answered. Now I'm worried that they will answer after the weekends are finished. He is still...

Okay so my chinchilla is clearly not feeling well. My chin gets hyper and runs around and explores. Right now when I put him on the floor he finds a spot where he can rest and not move. I normally hear him run in his wheel since his wheel does make noise, but there's no turning of the wheel...
