Our chinchilla, gizmo died this morning from GI Stasis
He seemed fine until yesterday, eating, drinking, playing etc
Last night he seemed a bit tired, but was still running about when we were trying to get him at the end of playtime.
Woke up this morning, 11 hours later, and he was very listless
Took him straight to the vet who diagnosed GI stasis
He just detoriated rapidly whilst there, and had to be put to sleep because he was so weak he wouldn't have survived the op to clear his gut
Still in shock that yesterday we had a seemily healthy chin and today he is dead
