I'm a bit shocked that chins can contract herpes! I had no idea! I have two different people in my life who are around my chins frequently. One has type 2 (genital- which I know is a different type, so im sure is safe for obviouse reasons) and the other gets coldsores, especially when she is sick. She has on occasions kissed gizzie but never when she has a sore. So is he at risk being around either of them? Do thye have to physically come into contact w/ an open sore? Is it rare to see a chinchilla with herpes infections?
What exactly would the signs be?
If a chin got herpes how would it be treated?
Once the infection has set in, how long before syptoms show?
Is this just transfered to chinchillas or can other animals get it as well?
