My ebony boy, Fred, is pretty sick. We took him in to the vet on Monday and found that he has pneumonia. He stayed at the vets for 3 days and was given Baytril, sub-Q fluids, Critical Care (though he ate very little of it, 1 - 3 mls) and was nebulized twice a day.
Right now he is at home. Still on Baytril (.2 ml 2 times a day). I have gotten him to eat quite a bit more Critical Care (6 - 21 mls every 4 hours). H is still losing weight and I would like to be able to get more food in him. He is eating nothing on his own. My question is, if the chinchilla stops swallowing the critical care, is there any way to get them to do so.
