The one I go to is in Valparaiso, but that might be an hour and a half to two hours away from you. When I lived near South Bend, this is the place I took Mischki to. I had trouble finding anyone decent near South Bend. Arbor View Animal Hospital 244 West US Highway 6 Valparaiso, IN 46385-7911...

Mischki's Presents Mischki got a willow christmas tree that is just about destroyed now, as well as sticks and bamboo shredders. Her favorite is the christmas tree, though she already ate all the sticks and is moving to the shredders!

Mischki the Tornado! My chin, Mischki, loves her wheel, and when I had her cage in my room, I used strips of anti-pill fleece between the doors. I also put strips in the plastic shelves that came with the cage (where the plastic tucks into the metal frames). Another option is to buy wood...

I just went to Arbor View Animal Hospital in Valparaiso, IN., about an hour away from where I live. The nurses and vets were very helpful, talking to me over the phone about food and other questions I had. They were very accommodating when I needed to change my appointment. The vet worked during...

Results Just got back from the vet and got Mischki settled. Turns out that she has a sprained wrist (possibly dislocated and relocated). The vet thought that she was in pain, and was biting her foot because of it, and might have gotten an infection as a result. So, I was sent home with an order...

Headed to the Vet Yeah, I decided last night that I'm not going to wait. I made an appointment for 12 noon today Central time. There's a snow storm coming, so driving will suck, but Mischki is worth it. Wish me luck and prayers are appreciated. :)

Another update, and question: I talked to the vet tonight, and scheduled an appointment for Saturday morning. However, Mischki isn't eating or drinking very much. The vet helped me try to find Critical Care in my area, but nobody sells it. :( The closest thing I found is "Repta-Aid" by...

The closest vet is an hour away, so the earliest I'll be able to take her in is Saturday, as long as there's an opening. Thanks momenteller, I appreciate the advice.

Bottom of her foot Quick update: I checked the bottom of her foot, and I can't find any redness, tenderness, bumps or anything else weird. It seems to be only affecting the top of her foot. Here are a couple more pictures I took a little bit ago. Sorry, they're a little blurry because she...

Thanks Momenteller. I also posted this in "Chin Emergencies" because I wasn't sure if anyone would notice it here. She doesn't have any sores or problems with the bottom of her foot that I can tell, just the top where it's red and she's chewed the fur off and biting the skin. I cleaned her...

Update and Pictures I did post pictures, but it won't let me re-post them in a different thread. If you click on the link in my first post on this thread and scroll to the bottom of that page, there are three pictures of her foot. Update: Last night her foot was really warm to the touch...

Mischki's front feet are dry. Also, her left front foot is red, sort of chafed looking on the top, and she holds it up most of the time. I'm going to buy bag balm today, but is it okay to use on her front feet, or should I use something else? Also, what should I do about the chafing, just use...

Here's some pictures of her foot Her left front foot is red in two patches on the top. All I can guess is that her foot is itching or hurting from being dry and she started biting it. The two patches are missing fur and red. They look like they're chafed or scraped. There is no blood, and she's...

Front feet? I keep seeing everyone talking about dry back feet, but Mischki's front feet are dry. Also, her left front foot is red, sort of chafed looking on the top, and she holds it up most of the time. I'm going to buy bag balm today, but is it okay to use on her front feet, or should I use...

Hi, I am looking to buy or make some new toys for my chin Mischki for her outside play time (outside of the cage). I am looking for suggestions, links to website stores that have good toys, etc. Thanks!! :thumbsup:
