Hi, I came home from work today to find that my chins eye is swollen and he can only partially open it. I can tell it must be bothering him because hes trying to sleep and every 5-10 min he'll wake up and use his hands like hes trying to clean his face. I know I have to get him to a vet I'm just...

Hi everyone, so I took my chin to the vet yesterday and he prescribed an antibiotic (sulfatrim) and an anti-inflamatory/pain reliever (meloxicam) for his injured paw. The vet administered the 2 of them via needle yesterday so today was the first time I need to give them to him orally using the...

Hi everyone, I think my chin hurt his front right paw but I'm not sure how bad it is or how I can help so I'm looking for advice. I know the obvious answer would be to go to a vet but I was hoping to just get some possible insight before I go there and we're in the middle of a hurricane so it...

My male chin got neutered today and we brought him home at about 6. I noticed a couple of poops in his carrying case when we got him home but I haven't found any poop in his cage since. I haven't actually seen him eat any of his pellets but I have seen him take some bites at his hay cubes and he...

Hi everyone, I just brought my chin home from being neutered, he seems to be doing fine but I've noticed him paying attention to the stitches quite a few times. I've given him soft places to lay, plenty of chew toys, and some dark peace and quiet. Is there anything else though that people may...

Wasn't sure which section to put this in... I have an appointment to get my chinchilla neutered. The vet that is performing the surgery told me that I should take away his food a few hours before surgery. Is there a valid reason for this? Could taking away his food for a couple of hours...

There is a chance that my chin might be pregnant. I was just wondering if there was anything that you should not feed them while their pregnant like certain treats and is there any supplements that they should have?

I know this may be kind of silly to most and that I have made other posts on here about my situation with one of my chins who I was told at the store was a male but I think there is a 90% chance its a female. I just really am trying to be sure before I go ahead and get my male neutered if it is...

Ok it might just be my imagination or I might just have really bad timing but my male chin doesn't seem to be as active as usual over the last couple of days. I've also noticed that there has been less food being eaten though I can't be sure it's completely because of him because I have 2 chins...

So, as recommended in another thread that I posted I want to get my male chinchilla neutered. Reason being they love eachother, love cuddling and playing with eachother, and are completely inseparable. I also do not want them to breed because I do know the girl is from Petco. In looking for a...

Hi everyone, I just found out that one of my male chinchillas is actually a female. I'm just trying to figure out what color classification she is so I know if she does get pregnant. I'm posting a picture. My other chinchilla is a standard grey. Does anyone know what the possibilities the babies...

A year ago I got my first chinchilla, a male, and a few months ago I got another because I wanted him to have a companion. Turns out that the chinchilla that the store assured me was a male was actually a female. So now I have a male and female who are genuinely attached and I fear that...
