I second this question. Would like to know what kind of drops I could add to my chin first aid kit.

I've been thinking about a B.O.B as well. I'd add a few heavy duty ziploc bags to store these items in. They come in handy as storage as well as being water resistant. Fold up a few plastic grocery bags as well, table top football style. I try to have safty pins on me everwhere I go they...

Gonna jump on the birthday train here. Happy Birthday!

Haha. He really does. His right ear has a chunk missing from when he was little. His previous owners said they got him that way, so he must have been in a fight when he was a baby. The cotton ball in his left ear is treating his ear infection. :( Hence the death stare.

Thought I'd share a pic or two. Not sure how to embed the pics in the message area so they are attached.

I remember reading to give probiotics 4 hours before antibiotics, so that there was a chance for them to live in the stomach before being killed off. If they don't live past the stomach I suppose there's not much chance they'd be of any benifit at all. I've never read anything that says they are...

I'll have to read the Hedgie boards:) I was just thinking the Booster or Sunshine Factor might help his skin and in turn help his feet. Maybe if his skin were healthier then it would help to prevent so much of the callusing. His cage surfaces are covered in tripple layer flece now and have been...

Haha, yeah sorry so long and complicated. I thought I remembered the opposite that the antibiotics nullify the effect of the probiotics. I don't see how it could be vice versa. I don't normally give him the probiotics. The first time I took him in for the bumblefoot issue he was on Baytril and...

Maybe I should have posted in diet and nutrition? Sorry Mods. Wasn't sure which one to post in. Move the post where ever it should be.

Stitch has an on going case of bumblefoot I keep an eye on which the vet said probably won't get any better than it is. It's not bleeding or infected, but he does have wide dry calouses around his heals. I found a cream and supliment a while back and had been meaning to ask my vet about it and...

Back from the vet Thanks guys. Went to the vet this afternoon. She was a stand in, the one we saw last time was out for the day. Stitch does have an ear infection. She did a swab in both ears, listened to his lungs, and did a fecal culture. The swab in the runny left ear is infected. She said...

Do Chins get them? Day before yesterday Stitch was eating on the second level of his FN 142 and made a loud honking sound. It wasn't a kack. I listened to the chin sounds to find a similar one and the closest one was one of anoyance. He hadn't been out of his cage for a couple days as I had a...

This covers a couple different forum topics, so I thought I'd put it here. I've been looking at carriers lately as my finace, and I are planning a possible trip home (across country), and we'll have to take Stitch with us. I've been eyeing metal pans for Stitch's FN142 to replace the plastic...

I've heard this a lot and experienced it too. Like you said they are looking for the perfect piece. When I switch bags I notice Stitch likes different pieces. I read a thread on hay about the nutritional quality changing as the hay gets older and with the different cuts of hay as well. I imagine...

Check it out. This could be made with double layer fleece instead of batting to keep it chinny safe. And no raw edges. http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/accessories/17507-how-make-cuddle-cup-requires-sewing.html

Anyone have any good made from scratch recipes? Whatever flavors are your fav. I'm craving cream cheese frosting...

I'm 29. Have one chin currently. Had him since June of 08.

Oh! Ticklechin does Chins to go have a web page to order from or do you have to go to them to get one in CA like Stacie was saying?
