The baytril is probably making her not feel that well. See if you can get a probiotic and an appetite enhancer. It did wonders for my Cinnamon when she had pneumonia. We hand fed but she also ate hay. We got to her within 2 days of her going to the vet and she still lost weight but came through...

lol Vincenza does this. She loves to burrow under her fleece

She was such a good girl after we got the additional meds too. But yeah that's never a picture I want to see again!

She's all better now but have you seen a cuter sick chin? She was being such a good baby after she got the appetite enhancer and the probiotics

Vincenza reached full size about 2 years and 585g. She's a pink and white. She actually gets weirder with age. She's 4 now and has had all manner of behavior changes. She started burrowing under her fleece about 6 months ago. Before that she learned to go going to a specific corner in her cage...

Thank you guys :). I'm so grateful for this forum sometimes in situations like these! This is the first time we've really anything go wrong with either of these chins (except Vincenza had a cold when we adopted her but it passed.) And I learned always get a second opinion if the vet isn't used...

I buy a lot of stuff from Whimsy: http://www.whimsys-menagerie.com/ My little Cinnamon loves her Jacob's Ladder.

Be careful playing sounds for chins. I was watching a YouTube video of a guinea pig making cute little sounds once. I don't know what that guinea pig said but both of my chins went into full on fear mode immediately after that lasted for about a week. It was bizarre.

He's probably fine and it has in the past freaked me the **** out. We call it Vincenza's sexy pose now because if she looks up at us, it's usually over her shoulder.

Final update! Cinnamon came through. The vet gave her a clean bill of health. Blood work is normal, her appetite is normal, she's behaving like her pre-sick self. She's back to normal. She did lose a bit of weight, which is somewhat worrying but her appetite is good.

I'm sorry about your baby :(

We took our little Cinnamon to this vet in Beaverton: http://www.swanimalhospital.net/index.php Very knowledgeable and not that expensive.

I'm so sorry about your baby :(

Just a quickie update on Cinnamon. She's still on the antibiotics, the appetite enhancer and the probiotics. She's still pooping up a storm and very wriggly. We have 3 more days of meds. The vet recommended loose hay to get her to eat something and it's working! She's grabbing stalks and...

She's doing well! Still tired but that's likely the infection. But her ears are up and she's all chubby like she's supposed to be. Also poops. Smaller than normal but lots of poops. The vet said he saw some indication of muscle damage in the blood work (?) that he thinks is related but no...

Yeah, I was reading about that. I told my husband we should probably be prepared to do this for at least two weeks while she's on her meds. Probably three.

This is rapidly becoming a Cinnamon sick blog. She's still off her food. The vet gave us a probiotic and an appetite enhancer that seems to be working very well for hand feeding. She's now biting down on the syringe to get food but still not eating on her own. She is looking much better than...

Just a quick update: The vet thinks it's just an infection and not pneumonia. Also he thinks the antibiotic dose is too strong. So they gave us some hay, fed her and gave some SC fluids.

Thanks! We'll pick some up.

They were! Thank you, I forgot to give you props
