The last couple of days my chinchilla, Petunia, has been pulling her fur on her chest and like armpit area. Her skin is naked now and I can see it’s super red. and i can see her still going at it and pulling fur out. Anyone know what it could be or any home remedies ? I am currently stuck at home for quarantine and not supposed to leave until end of this week so i can’t take her to the vet yet :/ but I can treat it at home until i can.
She is still a bit active she runs around her lower part of the cage, she just doesn’t jump anymore (she has a 4 level cage and is currently only roaming around in the 1st level) she eats but has become more picky prefers seeds over anything. and she is still drinking water. she still lets me pet her and comes up to me when i’m nearby. it’s just her fur pulling that’s the problem.
I’ve had her for 5yrs now and i’ve never had any problems until now.
