Hello, my 13 year old gets an occasional irritated eye, the vet wants me to wash her eyes after dust bath, but didn't have it after the last time and she now has an eye that needs rinsing out. Was hoping someone might have the answer to this eye drop question. I tried finding some info on what...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had an experience with a chin slowing down their amount of pooping? My almost 13 year old has recently decreased how much she was pooping. She isn't pooping overnight much anymore at all. She is still pooping just fine midday and up until the evening. I started...

Hi, My chinnie Winston has been to the vet 3 times in the last 3 weeks. He is not pooping well. He will poop one day and then nothing for a few days. On the xray we can see he is gassy and has produced poop, but it's not coming out. There is not a sign of any blockage, giving no good reason for...

Just wondering if there are any reasons other than being sick that would cause larger poop? I have noticed larger poops coming from Winston. They are wetter than usual, but do dry up hard. I was able to break them apart and they didn't smell. I'm kind of scared though tonight, Winston was eating...

Hi, This morning was the first attempt at giving Colby the critical care. They gave me a syringe by monoject, but I don't know the size of it. She ate 1/4 of the amont in the syringe on her own and then refused to eat anymore. They had shown me how to burrito wrap her, but I know I have done it...

Hi, My almost 11 year old female had a spot of blood in her cage Saturday night, then also last night. This morning I noticed her chewing at herself and saw blood on her nose and around her mouth. The hair around her vaginal area has slight redness ( I assume from blood). I have an appointment...

Hello, Any one dealt with Spay Incontinence before? We have been having some issues with our 1 year old beagle girl for a few months now. She has been having accidents from time to time while napping. She doesn't have a bladder infection, we checked. The vet gave her PPA to take twice a day. It...

Hi, I have a 10 year old and a 9 year old chinnie. I was wondering what are the oldest chins that you know of? Also, does anyone have info on aging chinchillas? When are they considered seniors? Does their activity levels change, etc. I would be interested to find out more on this. Thanks.

My heart is broken, I feel helpless. I found out today that my amazing 13 year old beagle mix has bladder cancer. I never would have thought I would have a pet with cancer. I feel lost. We are going to schedule an appointment with an oncologist. I was wondering if anyone has had a pet with...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone gives these to their chins? I ordered hay from APD and they sent along a sample of their Tropical Fruit Salad Smaks treats. This is the ingredients list: Rye Flour, Oat Bran, Papaya Dices, Pineapple Puree, Canola Oil, Baking powder Thanks!

Any one have any vegan recipes that they always use for Thanksgiving? I haven't been able to make a good pumpkin pie! I keep trying different recipes and can't ever get one to come out right! :(

Hi, I have a beagle that has had anal gland issues for the past 5 years. She had emergency vet visit one night and since has had to have them drained by the vet monthly. I have switched her food recently, so I am wodering if it will help. I have just started adding ground flaxseed for extra...

Does anyone have one of the pink or purple surfer wheels? I have a silver one and love it. I am going to get another one, but wanted one of the neat colors, but was wondering if they are the same material as the silver ones? Or if they are painted. I wouldn't want to put a painted wheel with my...

I see that a lot of people now use fleece liners for their cages. Where is the best place to get them? I will be getting a couple quality cages and from what I see most people get them for the FN cages. Is it possible to get them custom made? Thanks!

Hi, My two cages were built by husband, almonst 10 years ago. I am currently looking for news cages for my chinchillas. My husband is too busy to build them this time around, so I was wondering which cages people have and which ones are good? Thank you in advance.

Has anyone heard of or tried Valley Organic hay? I just came across it tonight. http://valley-organic.com/products.html

I have been feeding my chins Oxbow for so long, that I can't recall. Winston went through a phase back when they were eating APD where he wouldn't eat well, throwing his pellets out of the dish and wasting them. I don't know if it's possible that he would get tired of his food? After he did that...

Hello, Six months ago my Bailey had to have his tooth filed down. He has a tilted molar tooth that got a point on it. I took him in on the 21st and had the point filed again (which wasn't too bad I was told), but he had a sore on his cheek. He doesn't seem to be doing so well with this. He is...

Hello, My husband built our first cages almost nine years ago. They are starting to get worn out and old. We are trying to decide what are the best things do with cages these days? Any suggestions on what has worked out and what doesn't work well for the cages? My chinnies are so very messy...
