Ok - thanks for your advice 😃😃

Hi Thanks for your reply. So will an echo detect heart disease? Or will it more likely just tell me the cause of the heart murmur ie like you said it was on a certain valve? And then like you said actually doesn't make a difference knowing that? I want to do the right thing without spending...

Hi all My nearly 13 year old Chinchilla has just been diagnosed with a heart murmur (the vet thinks a grade 2-3) - he was appearing a little lethargic, his only symptom, although some of his poos were a little small. To rule out his lethargy possibly being caused by something else (as opposed...

I took this one only last week. So cute! :)

. This is Gromit, meant to upload this one ;)

Thanks for the further advice, I will definitely take into consideration the points you have raised in the time it may take for my chinnie to recover after having his teeth filed. Gromit has had his X-ray now and is recovering very well after this. The roots of his teeth were fine but they...

Hi - thanks so much for your replies. I wanted my vet to do an x-ray first time around but they only filed his teeth - glad you said Jazicat to insist on an x-ray as this is what I have done, I am worried though about him being sedated again. Akane, the last time he was sedated it effected...

Hi I have two chinchillas that are 11 next month - Wallace and Gromit. Gromit has been a bit under the weather, losing some weight, not eating as normal and taking his time over eating his favourite treats (unlike his brother who is still eating at pace!). I have taken him to the vet who...
