    Please help me figure out what is going on merged with Runny Nose thread

    The ongoing saga of Quito. He is now 616 g. He was leveled out at 650 g but was 683 g last October when he got the major teeth filing. He was so happy the day we took him to get the abscess cut out at the end of December. Full coat, happy with the car ride, big blob under his eye... We has...

    Well..... fingers crossed!?!

    We took Quito to the vet to check his teeth and where the abscess was removed. The vet got the tools to look in his mouth and says things are fine. The incisors look really good, still ground down, even, great. The back teeth he could see looked fine and are wearing evenly. He said no signs...

    Chin front teeth

    When our chin had his teeth filed, the front tooth looked cracked, kind of like it was split and a piece was growing backwards. I think the vet said it wasn't split, it just curled back. He said he trimmed it some. Does that sound right? It may be why he isn't eating well, my daughter saw it...

    What now? Still losing weight..

    Two days ago, he gained 2 g without CC. Ate about 1T pellets and hay. Then today, 4 g less, the lowest he has ever been. When I went to bed last night, he was eating hay, and he ate another 1T pellets. Still lost weight. So we got the CC out again. He is acting fine, just the thinnest he...

    How can I get Critical Care?

    I purchased CC at the vet, which is two hours away. There are three retailers that Oxbow points you to, only one carries it. And they say you need to be a vet to get it. We are using it to supplement and also a little for a treat since he likes it so well. We have taken away all of his other...

    OK to lose 30 g??

    Our chinchilla had teeth filing two weeks ago. We also had him on the wrong diet. We changed him to Mazuri pellets and hay. He did CC for about a week after the filing. Up until 3-4 days ago, his weight stayed near what he was at the vet, 683 g. But, since we stopped CC (he only took 5-10...

    Not sure what to do...

    See Hay 101 for background. Our chin weighed 683 g at the vet last Thursday before a major teeth filing. We are at a week, and the guy just doesn't eat very much. I'm not sure he has ever eaten a lot, I really didn't keep track. He eats a little hay and just a few pellets each day. We do 5...

    Hay 101

    Hi all, Our 5 1/2 y/o male chin (Quito) had major teeth filing last Thursday. I will be one to give the Pet Smart info sheet a minus number..... we were NEVER told that the diet had to have mostly hay, I was allergic to the Kaytee Timothy Hay and took it back, and they didn't say I had to find...
