Sorry for posting so much. I'm really worried.
My chinchilla Freddie's tummy is still round and big. He has eaten a lot an drank water. He pooped a lot more than usual, the poop seams Ok except for the fact that they are a little larger than usual. He's not bloated because he is not lethargic, poops, eats, drinks, etc. He's definitely not his normal self. He is kind of like resting most of the day but definitely not lethargic. He sometimes sits in his cage and starts to very slightly wobble. i think he is in pain. As i said before, my vet is out of town for 3 more days. I live in a small town so no possibility of finding an exotic animal specialist before she gets back (already checked). What can I do in the mean time? How much do I feed him? Do i feed mazuri and hay or just hay,or just mazuri? Please help. I'm really worried. Since it's not bloat I think he over ate.. Like I said in the last post. He ate a TON of food yesterday and the day before (since he didn't have water bc the water bottle broke he didn't eat for around 20 hours.. when I noticed I got him a new water bottle and he started eating like crazy.. Triple the average he usually eats. Somethings wrong. What do i do until he can go to the vet?
PLEASE help
