I am happy to say she seems to be recovering nicely. She is pooping more regularly almost normal size and consistency, she has her energy back with no signs of the bloat discomfort, and most importantly she is now eating hay daily on her own. I switched her to Timothy hay, (previously I fed...

Today was the first promising day, after the squishy poops in the morning she returned more to normal. I got her to eat some of her treats today and even some Timothy hay. Her poops are still a little smaller but seem to be a bit more normal. I am continuing her drugs accept the antibiotic...

Thanks for the response, I have been also includeing belly messages and although she is lathargic I do take her around the apartment so she has to run back to her room each time there is a feeding to keep her moving. The 1ml syringe is a good idea Her stool today is runny, I have never seen...

Day 3 at home they have me giving her several meds for pain gas and blockage. I stopped giving her the antibiotic I feel its killing her appetite and without her appetite nothing else really matters. She has started pooping so that is good to see but its still not regular maybe about a 3rd the...

I have her home now the Vet thought she might respond better in her own environment. She started eating a little bit at the vet but at home I am finding she is still not interested in food, I am syringe feeding her Oxbo Critical Care and also her medications for Stasis, antibiotics and pain I...

My chinchilla developed an eye infection. She is 17 and developed a chronic eye infection about 14-15 about every 6 months. She was treated with eye drops and it would clear up after treatment. She has been seen by 3 vets over this span and had x-rays all instances of tooth problems have been...

The veterinary was able to rinse out the eye which opened it back up. I think maybe something was stuck in her eye now I am giving her eye drops and some anti-biotics and it looks like it is clearing up like normal.

This is a new symptom and I have an appointment to go to the vet at 5pm EST today. It was their soonest. She has developed a chronic weepy eye infection over the last 3 or 4 years. About every 6 months she develops an eye infection. The vet exrayed for malclusion and decided that was not the...

Omg vet vet vet

I am going to go ahead and donate these, thank you.

Hello I got these many years ago I have a solitary chinchilla and I thought she might use them for snuggles when I am working. Turns out she just flat out ignores them. Would anyone like them, if you could just reimburse me for shipping I could send them to you.

The biggest thing I am concerned with about pet stores and please keep this in mind anywhere is just because it has a picture of a chinchilla on it does not mean it is chinchilla safe. For example they market those dandelion yogurt drops as treats that are full of soy bean oil and corn syrup.

I have wrestled with this for a long long time. My Girl is 16 and I just could never get past the possibility of her getting stressed, bullied, or hurt by another chinchilla. I just try to shower her with attention and activities and make sure she has a great space to be in.

Haha I wouldn't say mine experiences anxiety but she is definitely alert. Although I have moved so often I think she is used to it.

I don't think shipping will be that much I would just be happy if some Chinnies got some munchies. If you PM me your address I can send them over.

Yeah I am not happy about this change at all. I think it was made with little thought to the consumer. I think the 5lbs bag used to be 20 some dollars and the new 3lbs bag is 15 some dollars so there is a price increase in there although its understandable considering the store has fixed cost...

Wow what an emergency. Yeah get an AC unit as soon as possible. I have seen some of those bucket conditioners I think it would be worth a try to get something going as soon as possible. Remember nothing that relies on perspiration to cool like a fan will work because chinchillas do not sweat...

Mrs. Wiggle Whiskers decided she is not interested in these. LOL she used to love opening these up. Just let me know your address if you think your furry(s) would like them.

In the past I have dedicated most of one day moving to her and I put her in the single level cage while she watches me disassemble her kingdom, then I put her in the carrier and take her and her kingdom to the new place and she watches me reassemble it. Then I turn her loose.

I just bought a new bag of Oxbow in the new packaging. I still have the old bag at home the old bag is a 5lbs bag and the new bag was only 3 lbs. I thought it felt light. I am trying to find my old receipt to see how much the 5 lbs bag was but I am pretty sure it was the same price. Has...
