Hi all. Posted about uneven incisors a while ago, and my vet suggested a CT that revealed that the right back molar is infected--very small. Funny enough...she also mentioned that the uneven incisors are correcting themselves slowly. She doesn't think the root infection will reprise for a while...

Well...the thing ive been fearing has reared its ugly head. I rushed him to emergency when he stopped eating all of a sudden last wknd and his poops got smaller and smaller. They found nothing. I fed him 2 days on cc but discontinued because he seemed on the upswing and i wanted him to eat...

My chinchilla has always had a sensitive stomach. so he's had issues with feces that never was indicative of a larger issue (parasites of enteritis or anything...) A week ago, he actually got into a wire and chewed it up. it was the wire to a digital thermostat i kept near his cage (my mom was...

So I'm needing ways to give my baby a little bit more fiber...he is so bad at eating hay... i wanted to try critical care, but he will not eat it in wet form and basically every attempt to feed it to him ends in a goopy fur stained mess. i was thinking that maybe i can just sprinkle in onto his...

I wanted to see how I could test for it at the vets? I'm really suspecting that my chin has a wheat intolerance and that's what has caused or triggered his stomach issues since january. If anybody has experience with this, i was hoping we could touch on: >alternative feeding (alfalfa only...

He's been tested numerous times for abnormal bacteria/parasites/giardia. thursday actually...we went one more time and paid 100$+ to be told what we already knew. negative and unremarkable on all counts...BUT this poo shows up periodically. i've only see it a couple times. it seems like it's...

So, those of you familiar to my story...my chinchilla had diarrhea in january that we countered with albon/panacur. i've done both giardia and bacterial infection checks with negatives (2x). he hasn't had anything as bad as the watery **** i'd seen before but sometimes (usually at night when he...

so...you can relay to my older posts if interested in my chinchilla travails...but as the title said. we've been experiencing coming and going of soft (not runny) poop. it is mushy and the consistency seems rough. i've noticed some holes in his more healthier poos too. i've taken him to the vet...

Hi just wondering if there are any chinchilla friends in Bakersfield or the central valley?

poop has no foul odor but looks slightly greasy and is larger than normal. also, squishes easily and not as compact...

It's all guesswork of course, but my chinchilla has had a series of really effed up poos these last couple months. 1. waaaay back he displayed symptoms of constipation or something. took him to emergency non-specialist and they gave me metoclopramide. after a few dosages, he seemed totally...

my chinchilla has been experiencing mushy poop for the last 2 weeks. i've taken him to the vet twice already. the first time, she just sent me home because the poops she saw were somehow miraculously alright. she took a sample and ruled out parasites...but then, on a sunday, it went from mushy...

Yesterday, I discovered small, dried, poops. really tiny. like less than a fourth of his normal size and I freaked out and brought him to vet. he seemed to be reluctant for treats and not as bouncy as he usually is but perked up in the vets office (stimuli from new places/sounds i suspected). I...

My chinchilla's eye has been watering for a little more than a week and it got me all freaked out thinking it was a sign of malo--but i've p much narrowed down the culprit to the introduction of super pet lava ledges and accessories into the cage, which i think have gotten some dust into his eye...

My chinchilla's been doing this weird sitting up position while he sleeps. let me see if i can explain this in a comprehensive way. i use aspen bedding so it's a bit of a cushion for him. so he likes to do a thing where he kind of sits on his rump with his hind legs sticking straight up. so he's...

Can chinchillas get some sort of thing? My chinchilla has the smallest lump underneath all his fur. Feels like a pimple or a bite or something. No hair loss. In fact, I can't even see it for all the fur. I have no idea what it is but it doesn't seem to hurt him. Does that sound familiar to anybody?

i've been trying to figure out whether i should take my little buddy to the vet or if this issue is completely benign. he has the smallest of lumps on his neck area underneath a bunch of fur, just underneath his chin. it feels like either a scab or some type of wart. it's barely raised, and it's...

i know o have a lot of options because davis is the location of one of the best vet schools in our nation, but i was looking for a glowing recommendation for one vet. i want to take in account the cost and extensive experience with chinchillas. please let me know!
