Hello, my 13 year old gets an occasional irritated eye, the vet wants me to wash her eyes after dust bath, but didn't have it after the last time and she now has an eye that needs rinsing out. Was hoping someone might have the answer to this eye drop question. I tried finding some info on what...

Thank you so much for the pictures and the reply. It was very helpful for me to make up my mind. I think I will have to order some to try with my chinnies. My older girl is quite picky about her wood, so it would be nice to see if I can find another kind for her to chew. Thanks again! :)

Hi there, I was wondering if you have a photo of the twigs? My one chinchilla is picky about the size, but I was interested in ordering some of these. I haven't tried the Kiwi with my chins, do the chins seem to like it? Thanks!

Both syringes are Monoject. One says 412 on it and the other has 6 ML on it. I have only been feeding her the larger amounts for less than a week. For the last year, it was only a very small amount in the mornings. She had been eating her hay and pellets fine up until recently she slowed a bit...

Hi, I have been giving her the Essentials for Life for the past year every morning, about 1/4 teaspoon because her poops were getting small and less often. It helped up until now. I still give it to her along with the critical care. She willingly eats the EFL, but not the CC. I have been...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had an experience with a chin slowing down their amount of pooping? My almost 13 year old has recently decreased how much she was pooping. She isn't pooping overnight much anymore at all. She is still pooping just fine midday and up until the evening. I started...

Thanks, I looked through these as well.

Hi, My chinnie Winston has been to the vet 3 times in the last 3 weeks. He is not pooping well. He will poop one day and then nothing for a few days. On the xray we can see he is gassy and has produced poop, but it's not coming out. There is not a sign of any blockage, giving no good reason for...

Thanks Brittany. I read that about the Mazuri somewhere. Should I try switching him to Oxbow? I do have some of that here too.

No wheat treats. I give them things from fuzzies kingdom. Although I haven't lately because I have run out. I do have some herbal hay from oxbow and other varieties of oxbow hay as well and mazuri pellets.

They are not hollow inside. This morning they look fine. That's how it's been though, fine and then big again. I may just get an exam for him if it happens again. Thanks

Just wondering if there are any reasons other than being sick that would cause larger poop? I have noticed larger poops coming from Winston. They are wetter than usual, but do dry up hard. I was able to break them apart and they didn't smell. I'm kind of scared though tonight, Winston was eating...

Thanks ticklechin. I have been thinking this on my own as well. How do we really know. Is it possible to have a vaginal infection? I want to trust the vet I go to and believe they know what is best for my pet. It's so hard because I don't know and I try to have faith that they will know, but...

Hi Brittany, I did post a thread asking about vets in western washington. I did end up going to one mentioned. This last vet was also suggested by a rabbit/rodent rescue site. I am located near Everett, WA. I have searched many times on the internet trying to find a chinchilla specialist, but...

Thank you. This has been so difficult. I have been to two different vets already. I guess I don't know the right things to ask/say and when I am there, I get lost. I was thinking the same sort of thing in regards to how do we know this is it and is there a way to find out. I wish I would think...
