I dried him off, and I'm very glad that he didn't drown, he only got his back half and a little on his nose wet... I was so scared for him

So, I went to let my chins run in the bathroom, while I was changing the cage, and my sister forgot to put the toilet seat down when she was done, and Boo got wet. What do I do?!

And if so, what would work to get rid of them?

We use Clovite, it's a horse supplement, but it works well with dogs as well.

I'm so sorry to hear about your losses, hand feeding baby anythings is a touch and go process. I hope that things start to look up for you.

True, so very true!!

We've got four horses, two grade paint mix mares, Toots and Diamond, a 1/2 quarter horse 1/4 Arab and 1/4 Thoroughbred gelding, Dan, and then my registered stock paint gelding, Hawk. Well, we've been training Toots, and decided today to bring her up to the other three horses, seeing as she's...

*Tilts head* Do you have Rocky mountain spotted fever out there? Cause it looks like what I had, or it could be lymes disease. In either case, steroids (To help the swelling go down) and antibiotics are what a doctor normally gives in cases like this.

That might be it, cause he looks rather annoyed with me!

When you open the cage door, the boys like to come up and get love, well, at least Ru goes. If you try to pet Boo, he kacks at you, and then sits there and makes this grinding sound.... Why's he making it?? Is he okay? Or is he just being grumpy?

I separated them, and now I can't tell which one, but I'm thinking that the younger one, Ru, was the one that was having the problems.

I've been breaking the Shredded wheat in half and giving each boy a half

It's not any larger or darker, but once I find a vet that helps with chinchillas, I will take them a sample. I got a box of unsweetened shredded wheat, which they love, so it will make it easier to cut them off of the other treats that my sister tries to give them.

We have a Walmart, and 2 small pet stores, and that's about it for our area.

The rabbits are kept outside, seeing as they are a large breed rabbit. If they were kept in the house, I wouldn't have gotten the chins.

I live in Central Minnesota, any help I could get for a good pet store, and a good vet would be much appreciated. And the old fashioned oats we have on hand, my sister's rabbits love them (I have nothing to do with the rabbits, I had one, he was evil, I don't like them any more)

I can switch the pellets, I was thinking about doing that anyways, what are some of the good pellets you can find out there? Up here we have problems with good hay, so I'll probably have to get Oxbow Timothy hay. I'll look into a PUR filter for them, seeing as the water doesn't bother any one...

They are on Kaytee forti-diet pellets and hay from the petstore, I wouldn't give the chins horse hay, cause that can have some bad stuff in it, mold and nightshade is just the beginning of the stuff you can find in that. We usually give them a rosehip of a cheerio, depending on whatever I grab...

I think the vet that's about two hours away deals with chinchillas, I'd have to call and check. It just seems really soft, and they've been squishing it down, seeing as I have yet to find one that's not squished flat yet, I'm not really sure. It's not flow blown, it just seems soft. They get...

One of our little guys has diarrhea, not sure who, I'm going to have to separate them to know. I need some suggestions what to do, seeing as none of the vets in my area work with chinchillas, unless for small things, I've called and asked. I'm kinda freaking out because I don't know what to do...
