I’ve followed your advice and now more lost than anything :(

Having had chinchillas for the majority of my childhood, my third chinchilla lived to 23 years old. I purchased two boys when I lost her, sadly the breeder wasn't honourable and I lost both to dental disease. Having always taken good care of my chinchillas, a local animal hospital had a few...

Hi Chin Family Quick question and to state clearly my chinchilla is under veterinary care (the vet is super). Barney my almost 5 year old chin has a mouth ulcer, wonder if anyone has ever experienced something similar and how long it takes to get better. Vet said 7-14 days but thought I would...

I would try to introduce a probiotic too Fibreplex is very good

So mentioned in a previous thread took Bertie to the vets XMAS eve, vet could see food lodged/wedged in gum causing irritation, this was removed. Was given Baytril things returned to normal. Cutting to the chase, the baytril prevented him from eating. Once this ceased we had a good XMAS period...

My chinchilla has just been diagnosed with this (giardia), she is 22 and I am very worried, she has been given baytril and i must confess the soft smelly stool has now ceased. She isn't eating from her dinner tray, so we are giving her critical care any help would be massively appreciated
