Thanks everyone! I knew it was the right thing to do. They gave him the sedative and I couldn't tell the difference in his activity. He was pretty much gone anyways. Sucks but I know where he is waiting for me.

I was talking to my Aunt and I liked her response. If you are wondering if it is time, it is probably time. He was refusing food and wouldn't move. His breathing was so labored. I talked to the vet who said his lungs were still really harsh and that even if they threw all they had at him, he...

I have a two part question. 1. Has anyone had a chin come back from pneumonia? 2. When do you make the decision to end suffering? He didn't eat today. I tried force feeding him and it say in his mouth until it dribbled out. His breathing is really labored. He doesn't move and is pretty...

I don't know if you know any of the local police or whatnot but a call to them might help get you to the right people.

He wasn't quite sure what to do with it... So it looked like he started eating it... He didn't get much so he should be ok right?

I have no doubt that dust will work better! My stupid allergies have me sneezing for 20 minutes after I have to cuddle him to force feed him, put his eye drops in, and give him his Baytril... I am miserable twice a day now! Good times...

When Buddy hurt his leg (AKA jumped off my shoulder and landed on the floor...) we did the exact same thing that you are doing now. He was a bit more sleepy but if you think about it, you don't rest well when you are in pain do you? But take some tylenol or ibuprofen and you are going to make...

lol! My little black velvet love won't be so black. I hope it works!!!

Did you end up trying cornstarch? Just curious. Giving Buddy lots of lovings because he is sick and it is sure taking a toll on my allergies!

The Vet thinks he has a UTI and an eye infection. I am going to completely disinfect his cage today. He is on Baytril and some eye drops I have to give twice a day... Hopefully he feels better in no time.

AND I get to go to the vet with am 18 month old and a 6 year old...

We are going to the vet today at 4:20 but I just need happy thoughts sent Buddy's way. His poop is smaller and a different color, his eye is gunky and swollen, he is really skittish this morning and I found blood in his cage... Ugh! My poor buddy! At least it seems like he is still chewing...

My child gets the occasional chinchilla nugget and he is fine! SO just don't eat a ton of it and you should be OK.

His favorite treats used to be rose hips. Maybe that has changed. I woke up and all his food was gone so I guess he just wasn't hungry before. Just thought it was weird. Maybe he is finally used to the vacuum? Of course the night that I post asking to question, he eats all his food after...

I also just tried to offer rose hips and he wouldn't eat one. He did eat a little oatmeal but I didn't want to go overboard with it...
