Has anyone had any experience with Nationwide insurance for chinchillas? I just got rejected for heart murmurs for two chins I got from a breeder.

Thanks so much for the info. I really appreciate it.

Thanks so much. I was just nervous about giving my guy the terbinafine for so long. I read it can cause liver damage if taken for awhile.

Thank you so much for the info. Would you happen to know when I can reintroduce all their wooden fixtures back into their pen? They have been on terbinafine and Desenex dust baths for 12 days so far.

Do you just apply the blue kote to the affected area?

Thank you. And just the regularbrand foot powder found at the drug store would work for the baths?

So it’s looks like my little guy has ringworm . They did a wood’s lamp test and he glowed. I am going to throw out all his wood ledges and toys. They gave me an oral medication ( terbinafine) but I was wondering if I should do any other things to help his recovery. He shares his cage with the...

So, it looks like he’s been biting at it more. I was able to get a better picture.

Hello all, I have a boy who appears to be biting his tail . He has a bald spot on the top part of his tail closest to his butt. I took him to the vet and they tested for ringworm which came back negative. They gave me gabapentin and they said this might relax him and not cause him to chew on his...

Hey, thank you so much. The only time I could get him in was on the 10th. But I will keep you posted .

Thank you for getting back to so quickly . I’m gonna get him a vet appoint and see what they say. Thank you again!

I have seen him twist all the way around just to reach that area. If it was a bacterial infection or ringworm would there be a sign?

Hello everyone, does anyone have any idea what could be going on with my guy? He keeps biting the fir off of his tail. It doesn’t look like a breaks any skin, but there is still a prominent bald spot.
