A few weeks ago I took my chinchilla to the vet because she had dampness around her eyes and I feared the worse and thought it was teeth related so I took her in for some X-rays. Luckily they saw that her teeth are perfectly fine, however, she has inflamed cheek pads, both of them. The vet...

Poor little guy.. Hope you're okay too :( This is why I have never been comfortable with letting my chins run around in the bathroom/kitchen. They have their own room now as my bedroom was just getting trashed. I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

I want to improve my chinchilla's home. After a little scare last week I thought I was going to lose one of them. So I was to really give them a great home and great quality or life. This cage houses my two chinchillas. I'm thinking of getting an exercise wheel (chin spin), adding an attic...

Okay so I took my chinchilla in for an X-ray today. Good news, her teeth are perfect, the roots are good too. However, she has inflamed cheek pads and inflamed tear duct. The vet has no idea what could have caused her inflamed cheek pads. At least this is curable. I'm so relieved. She will be on...

I'm going to take her for a X-ray first then have a long talk with my vet and see what they think. Are teeth issues hereditary? Because she has a son and I'm worried in case he gets it at some point down the line too. If the vet suggests taking her teeth out I'll ask if it would be kinder to...

It's only the one eye and I'm certain her teeth are fine. She eats and does not seem to be in pain. I'm wondering if it's worth to just wait and see. The stress of taking her to the vet will be really strong on her. Obviously if it's a serious problem she will be taken to the vet whether she...

Hi thanks for your reply. It's only one eye. Not both. Her teeth seem fine, she is eating and drinking okay and doesn't look like she is in pain. It didn't suddenly happen I think I started to notice it a little bit but it hasn't got any worse than in the picture. It sometimes goes down a...

Hi My female chinchilla has had dampness around her eyes for a while. I looked online as soon as I saw it appear and all I read was that if she was eating, drinking, pooping and seemed herself then its nothing I should be concerned about and that it will go away soon. It's been a few weeks and...
