Tilly unfortunately has passed away... She started to became lethargic every couple of days. She would lay in her litter bowl all day and would hardly eat or drink. Her movement was extremely odd as if she was uncomfortable. She would really push her pelvis forward and drag her belly. I took...

Quick update: The first 3 days after the surgery were extremely frightening. Tilly hardly ate any food. Force feeding went over poorly and I had a lot of trouble doing so by myself. I had to have someone come over and help me. She went to the vet the day after surgery so they could feed her...

Thank you. That is going to be so helpful! She is home from the surgery today, all went well. She is eating a little bit here and there but not much today. I was prescribed three different things for her. Metacam - 0.14 ml every 24 hours for four days. Baytril - 0.5 tablets twice a day...

The vet wants to wait to give meds after the surgery so he didn't send me home with any for her. I will call them if I see any of those signs for sure. The vet clinic is open Saturday but not Sunday. I have lifeline and Intensive care whole food formula.

Update: She has open Pyometra. She has surgery booked Monday morning to have her uterus removed. They told me closed Pyometra is more serious and if she had that they would have her in for surgery tomorrow morning. They are already booked for many surgeries in the morning and since its open...

I have been weighing her regularly, her weight had been rapidly increasing for the past two months. It has decreased a little since the highest point but has remained at around 735 for this week about 15 grams less than her heaviest weight. She is caged alone. Her poops have been a bit smaller...

My chinchilla suddenly has clear fluid coming from her genital area. It is not odorous, or thick. It is not pee. It looks just like water. Her belly and bum are now wet from it. She seems to be examining her bits down there every so often but did not appear to be in distress. She was eating...

Thanks! I guess I will just have to keep watching for the next 66ish days. I'm not sure what food she was on before as it was just labeled Chinny Chow but I switched her over to Oxbow. Tilly seems to be eating all the time but she doesn't appear to be overweight yet. She does get pinches of...

I adopted my chinchilla from a shelter on December 21st 2014. I've weighed her frequently since then and in 45 days she's went from 627 grams to 742 grams (115 gram gain) and still seems to be gaining. Her weight according to her adoption paper was 660 grams. (My scale was low on batteries and...

Hi there! My name is Tilly and I came from the Calgary Humane Society. My previous owner got me straight from a breeder. I was surrendered because she was moving and couldn't take me. You can't really tell much now, but I had some of the worst fur they had seen when I arrived there in October...

Thank you everyone for your kind words. He is deeply missed. I just wanted to share a video that I made in his memory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-_qxZLFLNU

Tuesday at around 3:30 I accidentally stepped on my little boys tail while I was cleaning his cage. In a panic I lifted my foot and I put my other foot down which landed on his body hard. I fell down as it happened. I don't know how I will ever forgive myself. I'm usually always so careful...

I would say try to find the place your chin pees most often and put a pan or bowl in that spot with the shavings in there. Put some of the soiled shavings in and see what happens! That's all you can really do. Like others have already said they either will take to it or they won't. I was a bit...

I actually won from them on twitter before too! I wish I received the prizes you got. They sent me one of those run around balls.
