So we all know that malocclusion isn't curable. Hypothetically speaking, you just find out that your chin has malo. At what point do you put them down? Do most people put them through multiple filings before making this decision? Have any of you decided not to put them through treatment when you...

There are increasing complaints about chicken jerky treats coming from China that are making dogs sick/go into renal (kidney) failure. Here is the FDA warning: http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/ucm280586.htm Wagon Train is made in China (which I found out Saturday) and...

Prowler is 10 weeks and a total hellion, so I will apologize ahead of time for the less than stellar pics. Unless I am holding her she does NOT sit still for more than a couple seconds at a time. I probably got about 25 blurry pictures of my table/wall/clock while she was trying to launch...

Does anyone know anything about pulmonary edema in cats? My cat Maya went in today for a teeth cleaning this morning and almost died. The vet said almost as soon as they started giving her the anesthesia she went into pulmonary edema and they (obviously) had to stop and they had some trouble...

I know a lot of you have other pets, so maybe you have some suggestions? Rocko is my 10 year old Chihuahua who with the exception of last spring when he had a freak illness, has been perfectly healthy. In the spring of 2011 (I think it was March) one night he started throwing up and wouldn't...

Prowler at 6 weeks: Sorry the last one is a little crappy. =)

So I weighed the boys today and this is what I got: Kallel: 960 Talyn: 602 Ari: 580 Sobek: 745 I forgot to weigh Moya and didn't think of it until I had the boys out playing, who obviously, have a separate play time. =)

In December I got Kallel, who could be a poster child for McDonald's. I weighed him today and he is 960 grams. He is by far my biggest chin. I had someone see him recently who informed me that he could have a heart attack so now I keep worrying that he will. He is only 4 years old. I'm not sure...

1 month and 165 grams. =)

I like to have my chins in pairs because I work and don't think it's fair for them to be alone so much. My new girl Prowler is coming home on March 8th but she was supposed to be a boy and supposed to go in with two of my other boys. Surprise! Prowler is a girl. I had been talking to my friend...

I'm looking at getting new wheels. Opinions on either? 3 out of 4 of my chins will use a wheel but I've never had a flying saucer...

So I just moved to a house where my chins have their own room and I am working on my chin room/play room. So far they only have their cages and a chinchilla maze that I got from Forever Feisty that they love. Well that and a dresser they like to hide under. Today was cage cleaning day and they...

Here is my little girl I will be taking home mid-March. She is almost three weeks old and growing like a weed. She is already 115 grams. =)

Does anyone know anything about congenital kidney disease/kidney failure in chinchillas? I have a chinchilla that started out with a UTI and had been treated with Baytril for it. Last week he started peeing blood. I took him into the vet that night and the vet thinks he has congenital kidney...

Here is my new baby Ari, who is 8 weeks as of April 3rd. He is a tan white that was born on 2/3/11, the same day I lost my Snaggle. =( I am in love with this Chinchilla. Seriously. He is the sweetest thing. He actually likes being held, petted, kissed on the nose (am I really admitting to this?)...

So my new baby chin (in my avatar) seems to have a peeing problem. At first it looked like maybe the mother had peed on him but he has gotten bigger and the pee is always in the same place, around his belly and penis. He is almost weaned and otherwise very sweet/healthy/happy. Eats well, drinks...

Hi, I live in CT and have three boys: Indy, Snaggle and Fostro. Indy (about 3?) and Snaggle (about a year old) I have had for almost a year and got from my friend who breeds Chinchillas. Fostro I adopted from one of the members here this last week. They get along fabulously and currently all...
