Can anyone refer me to a good/ reputable vet in the PA, MD line area? I am willing to drive for a good one.

The vet admitted never doing any xrays or procedures on chins so i told him i wasnt interested at this point. So i am at a loss at this point as to what to do.

I have a 6 yr old male chinchilla that has been eating slower and less over the last 2 weeks. I tried my reg. vet but she is on vacation till 8/18 and i cant find any good vets in my area. He usually weighs around 460 grams and is down to 380. He is eating small amounts but his stools are...

Depends on the chinchilla. Some colors and lines can grow as long as 18 months like Becky said.

My largest litter (thankfully) has been triplets. And the mother all have done quite well with them.

defintely a mosaic, what a ctuie, congrats on the chinchin

I am having somewhat similar problems. I have heavy bleeding and severe cramping for 8 days. And the fact I cant eat or basicly move for at least 3 of them never helps. I tried birth control but I had bad reactions to it, and the doctors could only advise me to try different kinds. The only...

Chinchillas dont always need cagemates. More often its just us that wants another chinchilla (not that i blame you, i couldnt stop at one either). If all you want is another cagemate, then why not get your male nuetered first or get a female? There is no guarentee they will ever get along. Are...

I would mark on the calander 111 days after you sepporated them. That way you have a last possible due date for both of them. I offer my chins alfalfa hay and timothy, they love both. But as long as they are on a good quality pellet, the type of hay shouldnt matter much. Good luck with your girls!

We keep gettin hammered. I got a total of 4 feet in the last week. Thank goodness for a few warm days to help cut that down. Driving has just been crazy with all this and they are calling for more tonight!

Wow, didnt realise it was getting that close already! I'll defintely be there. I always love being an animal handler.

Definetly an pretty ebony boy. Very cute!

I totally agree Brittany. Thats one of the reasons I got hired at my vet clinic was my wide variety of experiance with animals. Even if clinics don't normally see exotics they can usually do basic care or refer to a place that can take care of them. We are a dog/cat clinic but every time a...

I know around here they try to avoid the pit label. People just seem to shy away from them. I know shelter dogs are hard to pin point a breed, but really some are very obvious. Not every dog with a blue spot on its tounge is a chow cross, and not every little dog is a chihuahua mix. If they know...

Its the same thing with sugar gliders. Lots of people have them in pa but they are illegal. I don't see why certain animals are legal in some states and not in others. Whats the difference besides the state? I don't think its fair for them to dictate like that. There are plenty of good pet...
