Hehehe. I did pay a little more for her than I would have for a grey/ebony chin. She and her albino-looking sibling were a little pricier but she's well worth it :) We bonded immediately. How common is her coloring?

Yep, it is.

I'm not sure, actually. I do know that she had a sibling who was all white with red eyes though.

I got my chin at about 8 weeks and I've had her for a month now - I've been holding, petting, and letting her roam around my bedroom daily and she seems quite happy. We developed a good bond pretty quickly! She doesn't need to be dragged out of her cage anymore and she's very clear about it when...

Josie was the only one of her litter with these colors. Her fur is white with a very light frosting of grey in some spots on her back. Her ears are light pink and her eyes are black. What's the official "label" for this color type? Silver? Beige? White?

A friend of mine who works at Petco recommended Omaha's Best Care Animal Hospital when my chin had ringworm. Here's their website - Best Care Pet Hospital They have a great reputation for exotic pet care. I could not have been more pleased when I took Josie in. The doctor and nurses really...

PHOTO After a week on ointment from the vet, Josie is doing much better! It's hard to tell from the photos, but her skin is no longer red and flaky. It's smooth and returned to its normal color. Her toe has gone back to its usual size, too. She's got another week of ointment left and she will...

Sorry for the lack of updates! I actually took her to the vet the other day and got some ointment. At the moment the spots are looking worse after 3 days of treatment, but the vet said that's normal as the dry skin and scabs fall off. She should be right as rain in another week and I'll post...

My new baby chin Josie has a set of Super Pets Tropical Fiddlesticks (photo) that I use as a ramp on the bottom level of her cage. I'm wondering what is the best way to clean it? She doesn't chew on it much but she does run up and down on it all the time, so naturally it gets pooped on a lot...

Care Credit is the best. It was a lifesaver for us when we discovered that my dog had a heart murmur and would need medication for the rest of his life. It's pretty easy to sign up and get approved so I would highly recommend it! http://www.carecredit.com/vetmed/

Good point about the cream upsetting her. I'll be very careful to watch for that! She doesn't mind getting it on her toe but she HATES when I put it on her face. She seems fine afterwards, though. I make sure to give her some cheek rubs (her favorite) and offer a piece of hay as a token of my...

Okay, Target didn't have any Tinactin powder, so I got her some Gold Bond maximum strength medicated powder and some antifungal cream. As soon as I got home I added 1 tbsp of powder to her dust and gave her a bath. She wasn't too keen on the powder so I massaged it into her fur by hand. When...

Thanks you two! I will go buy her some Tinactin today. I have some Gold Bond medicated cream. Is it safe to put some on her nose and on her toe? Her toe has me concerned since it's swollen, as you can see in the picture.

Hello! I've had my baby chin Josie for about 2 weeks now. A couple of days ago I noticed that she had some dry skin on one side of her nose and had lost a bit of fur in that area, but nowhere else. One of her toes also appears red and swollen :( Other than that, she is still eating and playing...
