I told my mother NOT to feed veggies to her as I didnt think it sounded right. Just continue to feed critical care and benebac. Last year I was given some other drug that needed to be refrigerated but neither vet gave my mother any meds for her:banghead:

I tried looking up vets last year and none of them around here know about Chinchillas. When I call, they say YES, we treat them but then I find out I know more about GI stasis and bloat then they do - except for one vet BUT she will not help you and will tell you to put the animal down if you...

My mother ended up taking my chin to 2 different vets. One said she was perfectly fine - she wont eat and hasn't pooped in days but no, she's not on deaths door. The other one said to feed her carrots, lettuce and apples because she needs more fiber. Ignoring the fact that I have been screaming...

I am not sure what she is doing, other then not pooping for several days. The one vet said she was perfectly fine - which I KNOW is utter BS. Another vet trimmed her teeth but totally ignored the fact the she has not popped in days and told my mother to feed her apples, carrots and veggies and...

So the vet said she is FINE? She isn't eating OR pooping! He wants to do a stool sample and blood test.

First up - I am currently in CHINA and I left my chin with my mother. Now this particular Chinchilla is a massive pain in the rear when it comes to certain things. She is about 8 or so years old and has been "on death's door" twice. Both times for not eating and I was never told what the cause...

well, she still won't eat on her own but is back to her normal annoying self:clap1:The issue now is that i am out of critical care which is aparently only avalible by prescription in NY :banghead: I could easily buy it from Petco when I lived in Alaska. I called every vet within a 60 mile...

So I upped the last feeding for the last session and instead of the 5 the vet said, I filled the syringe - not sure what it holds as it stops at 7 but there is an extra inch or so. Shw ate it all and had produced some poops that are almost normal in size.

Cesepride is the medicine in pill form, which according to wikiepdia, was pulled from the US market in 2000 and baned in several countries.. Cisapride is still available in the United States and Canada for use in animals, and is commonly prescribed by veterinarians to treat megacolon in cats...

I went to the vet because she stopped eatting and the vet wants me to feed her 10 cc a day - 5cc every 8 hours. Is that enough? This happened once before, several years ago and that vet had me feeding her several times a day - 5 cc each time. The vet I went to yestrerday is supposed to be an...

I went to a vet this morning and they wanted me to either pay $700 to keep her there overnight or put her to sleep. Then they told me to apply for some credit card thing, which was denied and finally lowered it to $400 for an X ray, barrium something or other and sent me home with that oxbow...

After a cage cleaning the other day, I have noticed that there are hardly any poops accumulating and she is not chewing on her lava bites or wood chews anymore. She also did not want to come out of her cage while it was being cleaned either. She dosen't look sick but her behavior tells a...

If you are in the USA, petmountain.com tends to sell stuff cheaper then petco/petsmart and they almost always have sales http://www.petmountain.com For water bottles, I ended up with a non-drip bottle from petco. The older one I had dripped so much, it made the bedding under the bottle a wet...

I would think with the larger ones, that chins can squeeze through the bars.

And what is that crawling around on my shelf?

Aawh so cute

She will take a bite of it and then throw it across the cage.

I give her the whole bundle and she chews what she wants. However she only likes willow, which just happen to be the most $$ ones :banghead: The small apple wood ones are cheaper but she does not seem to like them

That is EXACTLY what I am telling you. I live 2 hrs south of the arctic circle. The ave summer temp is 50F. AC is simply NOT sold here, no place HAS ac either. Not the post office, local shops, or university. The few hotels in town are booked solid cause of the holiday weekend, they do not take...
