Oh my god, that must have been a tough time and I'm so sorry even after all your hard work you couldn't save the eye. It definitely sounds like you tried your best for him though, and I'm glad he managed to bounce back so well. He sounds like a fighter! Thanks for sharing your experience. I...

It was just something I read somewhere on the internet, sorry if I'm wrong. That's a relief to hear. He also gets really tired after exercise and always lies down, not really "collapsing" but looking "limp". So I guess that's why I suspected hypoglycemia.

He is a beige, so I know he's more prone to seizures. He also sometimes freezes up and gets unresponsive for a while which I was worried are absence seizures.

Thanks for replying! He's not on critical care, I just give him a syringe daily to supplement his water intake because he is having an eye infection. That's what I thought too, because the eye infection may be caused by dental issues. I haven't confirmed that yet. But I didn't know if such...

Thanks tunes for replying, I always read your helpful posts on the forum. He is on Ciloxan, nothing else. Can I feed simethicone together with that? The vet checked his stomach and said it seems fine. He is eating a small amount of hay, I was more concerned because he doesn't seemed to be...

My chinchilla suddenly became motionless two days ago. He ignored treats, food and my prodding. I took him to the vet, who diagnosed a heart murmur and eye infection. He was sent for an ultrasound. He struggled a lot and they could only get clear views of one side of his heart, but the vet said...
