    Advice on large lump/tumor

    Hi! Sorry, I never saw these until now! Zoey is fully recovered and doing well, but unfortunately, the tumor is growing back. Definitely more slowly this time, and I just hope it doesn't grow back as big or to other parts of her body. We did find out that it is a cancerous liposarcoma after the...

    Advice on large lump/tumor

    Thank you everyone <3 Yes she's definitely still acting like herself, just extremely fidgety since she can't climb or jump on anything right now. We had to go back to the vet today because she picked at her scab and it bled a bit, and unfortunately, I found another lump (this one is tiny, so...

    Advice on large lump/tumor

    Thank you everyone for the kind words <3 We saw her surgeon yesterday and she said that the incision is actually healing really nicely! She did see where Zoey was playing with/nibbling the stitches, so she just snipped off the excess that Zoey had unraveled. Because Zoey had been unraveling the...

    Advice on large lump/tumor

    Update: Zoey went in for her surgery to remove the tumor Friday morning and came home with me the same day in the evening. The surgeon said the surgery went well and they sent off the mass for biopsy to determine if it's benign or malignant. I'm really really praying that it's benign :( Recovery...

    Advice on large lump/tumor

    Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, I too would like to know if it's cancerous or not :/ The reason I was worried about the surgery is because the vet did mention there is a chance she might not do well with the anesthesia because of her age and that there is a slight risk involved, but I'll...

    Advice on large lump/tumor

    Hi everyone. Unfortunately we received some terrible news today at the vet. We brought in my 13-year old chinchilla, Zoey, because I had discovered a large lump on the left side of her belly last night (April 11th). It seemed like it came out of nowhere overnight, but upon going back through...

    Ground transportation for chinchillas

    Hi all! I am in the process of trying to adopt a chinchilla to bond with my current one, Sesamee, since I have wanted to get her a friend for her the longest time and am finally able to do so! I found one that I really like and she is also very close in age to Sesamee (I'm also aware they might...

    Does My Chinchilla Have Bumblefoot?

    Okay great- thank you! Her feet aren't bleeding at all or anything, I was just concerned because of the pictures we took, but it was just the angle that made her feet look different. We examined her again the other day and they looked fine! Thanks so much for the feedback though! :)

    Does My Chinchilla Have Bumblefoot?

    Hi! I'm new to this forum but have been a chin owner for soon to be 10 years! Maybe I'm being paranoid, but ever since I found out what bumblefoot was, I'm worried my chin, Sesamee, may be developing it? Maybe they're just normal calluses, but on the top pads of her paws, the skin/calluses there...
