He's so cute! Happy birthday little guy

Nevermind, he of course stopped making the noise when I packed him up to go to the vet. Got there and checked out a-ok. I'm probably a bit hypersensitive after my saga with Ferdinand

I'm worried Templeton might have a respiratory infection, he has been making a sound like someone with a stuffy nose. He isn't breathing heavy and is eating fine, this just started and besides the noise he seems fine. I've been sick with a nasty flu but wash my hands before feeding the boys...

Welcome, what adorable chins!

Thank you, he is named after the charlotte's web character (my brother initially suggested wilbur which got me on a charlotte's web kick). He had his first successful escape, the little punk lol

Meet my new little baby Templeton, also frequently referred to as spazz too hehe. I've had him for a week now and he is in no way nervous or scared, he just hops up onto my arm and is now going for the lap and various escape routes. Thank you for referring me to Sumiko, who is who I got him...

cool thank you!

Hi, I'm wanting to get another male chin and wanted to know where there are breeders in the area. Thank you

Thank you everyone, he was truly one of a kind

Another pic of my baby cuddling up with me

:cry3: I can't stop crying, after a long hard fight my sweet boy Ferdinand has passed. My first chinny, he loved to cuddle and do it for as long as I would let him. I have no words, I hate the e-vet I took him to last night who wouldn't even hold him to observe him and did absolutely nothing...

It's too lat, he passed this morning just a minute ago as I was holding him.

If it's not one thing its another, Ferdinand has gone downhill again after looking up. He is shaking and lethargic. He has been in and out of the vet for gut issues, this piece is new. His vet, adobe has no chinchilla vets on duty and they are the only ones I have found that treat chins...

Wow, that's quite a few potential causes! I'll bring Chimney's poop in for a float at Ferdinand's next appointment. Ferdinand was on two parasite medications that just were finished as well as an antibiotic which he's still on. He's on Oxbow pellets, timothy hay, and no treats so it doesn't...

So Ferdinand has not been doing well, he had a prolapse about a week ago and has been in and out of the vet since and has a follow up appointment tomorrow (it was supposed to be to take out his stitches that were put in because of the prolapse but he apparently decided to take care of that one...

Thanks! He's home now, absolutely refusing to eat, had to struggle to get any cc in him let alone meds. He's on some anti parasitics, baytril, metacam, and a motility med. hopefully he will get some appetite soon at least enough to eat the cc and hoping he poops soon too

Ok, please have Ferdinand in your thoughts, he prolapsed again a few hours before his appointment today, got him to the e-vet at adobe and they put a stitch in but he prolapsed again as they were preparing him to leave, so they put another one in and are keeping him overnight to observe him. On...

They are the ones I take him to normally, I'd called them and they had told me they didn't have anyone in emergency that sees chins so gave a few numbers of other e-vets. I'm going to try and make an appointment with them today though. There was no prolapse again in the middle of the night and...

You were right Narcissus, he ended up having a prolapse but it went back in by itself at the e-vet (just got back!). The vet didn't do anything and said she didn't know much about chins, but to make an appointment with his vet tomorrow. At least I had been holding him and it was found...

Hi need advice please! My boy Ferdinand is not doing well, took him to the vet wednesday because he wasn't eating or pooping. They prescribed a motility med and pain med and filed some teeth (he has a history of teeth issues, mainly spurs and is not a big chewer so his front teeth can overgrow...
