Hi everyone, i just wanted to thank you for your invaluable advice. I'm happy to announce that Archie has made a full recovery and is a happy chinchilla!

Hi Chrischin, I'm a new chin owner too and just found a great site, lots of tips and tricks do's and don't. It's long but worth the read http://www.chincare.com/SiteMap.htm

Good news Archie's stomach is slowly going down, he's a little more active too. I have another visit with the second vet on Monday to see about malo and to do a check up. Hopefully he'll still be with us by then. Thank you so much to all of you for answering so quickly, I really appreciate it.

Fantastic will do :) thank you!

Okay good to hear, Dawn how big is your dropper? 1ml? They make different packaging and dosages for different countries. I just want to be sure, sorry for the back and forth

The first vet office finally called me back, (the second never did) I asked them about the Ovol and they told me 0.7ml of the 40mg/ml ... which to me makes no sense.. since that's 4 times less of a dose than they had originally prescribed. So I gave him that dose, knowing that he had 4 times...

Okay, I just got back from the pharmacy, you were right I bought the baby drops called Ovol which are 40mg/ml. So here is my other issue since we are having so much conflicting info from the vets please help me one last time on this. his dosage was 1ml twice pre day of 100mg/ml that would mean...

At Dawn: good tip. One question: I work full time so he'd be without CC for at least 9 hours, I could get up in the middle of the night but that's only 4 feedings... also any idea as to how long I'm supposed to do this for?

logically speaking 200/5ml = 40mg/ml 40/5ml = 8mg/ml OMG!!! He's on 160mg/ml and 32mg/ml @ 1.6ml, that's 4 times the potency and over 5 times the amount you give so in reality he's having 20 times the amount you give! So I should be giving him 0.015ml of this instead max 0.02ml per dose...

I just gave him a belly massage and for the first time heard him whimper. It's breaking my heart. Still waiting on the vet :(

Thanks for the reply as you can see I'm fresh out of ideas! At Godins : sulfa/trim 160/32mg/ml giving vet dosage of 1.6ml twice per day. We unfortunately do not have a lemon law. Gas drops? That would be the Ovol (simethicone) right? I contacted the vet office this morning to see if she can...

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site and to owning chinchillas. I'll be upfront in saying we bought our chins without knowing everything about them. We bought Gizzmo about a month ago and Archie two weeks ago. Gizzmo is great, active with a big personality and poops and drinks like a king...
