    2014 MCBA National Show

    I showed my BD female. She took a 1st. She lacked size. The show was great, company was great, and animals were awesome!! Best road trip EVER!

    Awesome!!! I have a couple for the auction myself. Can't wait to see everyone. I'm pretty stoked about a couple of my standard girls. They won't go all the way but I love their color. Pretty sharp looking....IMO.

    Any experience with Azithromycin or Zithromax in Chinchillas

    yeah it's definately a drug I will never use again nor recommend...if that is indeed what killed him. He was only 2 yrs old. His loss has hit me hard this week.

    Any experience with Azithromycin or Zithromax in Chinchillas

    He was not on meds prior and nothing had changed as far as diet and environment. The only thing different was the azithromycin. I don't remember the mg/kgs given but it was a dose hubby pulled up in his veterinary formula specifically used for chins. He was in excellent body condition with no...

    Night light on or off?

    I'm with Jags. I do 14 hrs of light and 10 hrs of total darkness. They can see fine during the night.

    Any experience with Azithromycin or Zithromax in Chinchillas

    Has anyone had any good/bad experience with oral Azithromycin? It's not a drug commonly used in chinchillas...but has been used previously. I personally have never used it until 2 weeks ago. I tried it on one of my males for a persistant eye issue-gave him 1 dose and I didn't like how he...

    large cage for baby...remove top ledges?

    Sorry but this is poor advice! I always advise lower level for babies. I had a customer who did not listen and had a 4 tier cage. I told her to block off 3 levels-she did not and the chin suffered a broken neck from the fall. So block it off until he/she is 4 mos of age then open up a little...

    my chin keeps urinating on the bed

    Limit the amount of time he is out. If you can try to take him out as soon as you notice he pees in the cage then leave him out for 15 minutes for play. 1 hour is a long time to a chin. I am sure he is not just peeing on your bed. Like everyone else says-keep him off your bed if you don't...

    Chinchilla Tumor / Cancer - Please, read!!!

    There is nothing you can do if the vet feels the options are not there as far as medical. The best thing you can do is to spend time with her and love her up. Cancer is unpredictable. There is no time table per say. The time to let her go is when her quality of life is no longer there. If...

    Help!

    Besides eye sight issues are her eyes infected? How is her breathing?

    Seizure - please advise

    I agree with Stackie. Try letting him out for no more than 10 minutes at a time. Seizures don't typically last long-usually no more than 30 seconds although it feels like a long time. If he repeatedly goes into a seizure (one right after another) or is in a seizure for more than a minute is...

    Chinchilla injection below neck?

    He was probably given sub q fluids to help with dehydration. This is very common and recommended. They don't need a sedative for sub q fluids. There is very little pain associated with it. Over the course of the day the fluids will be absorbed through the body and will make him feel a little...
