    Hello from a long absent member

    Hello, Just logged in for the first time since 2016! I was a very active member back between 2009-2014, but life has changed so much and I just don’t spend a lot of time on the internet. Any old timers still around?!? In my former CnH Days I was a college/grad school student and mom to several...

    Any research on UV light therapy for teeth and bones?

    Does anyone have research they can share on the use of UV light to treat bone density issues/ teeth root issues?

    Need some brainstorming help

    Thank you to everyone who gave me advice (especially Dawn & Stacie). I'm sorry that I didn't post an update, but it's been too painful to discuss until recently. In December I found a vet who was able to diagnose root elongation. I had suspected teeth issues for awhile, but felt so hopeful when...

    Need some brainstorming help

    Thanks for the input, I felt relieved when the vet said the teeth looked fine and now my stomach is in knots again. I have two other views, but they're not as clear as the one that I sent to Stacie. I called the vet today and they have recommended that I get a second opinion with an avian and...

    Attempt #2 Do you know of any brands of pellets that don't contain wheat? If I need to explore the diet option?

    Need some brainstorming help

    Ignore the date on the 2014 xray, I didn't even own her in 2008. The quality of the two images is so different, I don't have enough experience with reading these things. UPDATE: Ugh they don't seem to be posting. Stacie I can try to send them to you on facebook.

    Not letting Chinchilla s out of the cage

    Isn't that the truth? It's funny though, even though my life is busier I still have plenty of time for them. I still can't figure out the people who get rid of pets because life changes? I have one chin who gets regular exercise to help with digestive issues. My other two come out on occasion...

    Need some brainstorming help

    I'd love to get a brainstorm going to see if I can figure out what's going on with Lady. I apologize but it's a complicated issue: Winter 2011: -Lady stopped drinking out of a water bottle, stopped eating oxbow pellets, stopped eating timothy hay. Became constipated, bloated, and went into...

    Giardia

    Sorry, I was reading this thread and Lady jumped on the keyboard and posted a bunch of garble. Could an admin please delete this post? Thanks!

    Introducing my two females.

    Honestly I would not order anymore. As someone who has seen the negative effects trust me it's not worth it. Seeing them get treats is more for the humans enjoyment.

    Need Help With Medication Dosage

    Sandi, how did you keep his penis clean? This vet recommended I just use KY gel on the penis and continue using baby wipes on the exterior genitals. She did send me home with silver sulfadiazine to replace neosporin. She said the silver sulf is water based so it would be better if he ingests...

    Need Help With Medication Dosage

    Sandi one of my kids stole my phone on Friday. I should have a new one by Saturday/Sunday. Went to the exotic vet today, irritated me because I know more about chin care then she does. She couldn't even find his bladder on the X-rays, thanks to my vet in Cincy I knew that. Jamie seems to be in...

    Introducing my two females.

    Bloat is pretty serious. One of my chins has a chronic bloat condition that I have to monitor very carefully. Do you feed any treats? The best advice anyone ever gave me was not to give my pets treats (except for chew sticks). I just feed hay, pellets, water and the occasional herbal supplement...

    Need Help With Medication Dosage

    The mg is nowhere on the bottle for either medication. The local exotic vet has a tech answering the phones today, she tried to call the emergency vet but they're closed now (so much for 24/7). I gave him .1cc metacam this morning and .5cc bactrim. The tech recommended that I skip tonight's...

    I thought it was way too high, he weighs 634g.

    Introducing my two females.

    Some chasing is ok. One of the chins (probably the older one) will need to establish dominance, so you may observe some mounting/ heavy grooming.
