    I took Dink to VCA (pet ER) this AM because his tummy was very swollen, hard + he has been lying on his side, always right after he eats. They dont think its bloat, they dont know whats wrong with him. I can take him home or check him in for a few days. I can have more X-rays done or not. They...

    Yes that’s exactly how I mix the CC, warm filtered water & all. Dink gets out of my burrito towels, he kicks his back feet (that are HUGE btw) & squeezes his head out of the hole then hopes all over the table till I can get him back in the wrap. I only get a pump or 2 in before he gets out of...

    yes both vets checked I live in Germantown MD, ER vet is very close but I dont trust her 100%, she is the one who said not to give CC after the tooth trim "if he was eating ANY reg food". I have a vet 30 min away that seems to know what she is doing BUT THEY ALL SAY THEY do right?? Yes if...

    Hi I have a 2 year old male chin named Dink. I love him very much & feel so helpless, sometimes he looks so uncomfortable. So much has happened in 3 weeks. 1st Symptoms Not playing or chewing his sticks, I figured this was due to new cage ~chin/rat cage, 3 levels, all metal, and no wire mesh)...
