Oh I SO hope your right! The more I watch him, the more I fear there IS something else wrong :cry3: I've picked up on posture questions surfing this board, like if they're flattening themselves out, or "hunkered down", or Belly Pressing ... It's gotten me all paranoid about painful hidden...

It's me again! Things here have been much calmer, since his last trip to the vet after being attacked by his former cage mate on Friday morning... (First Visit on Friday morning, then on Sat to the emergency vet, and a follow up on Monday with the new WONDERFUL vet) He's still getting 1/4 cc...

I'll keep my fingers crossed and make sure I totally communicate with this vet to be sure we are on the same page! Poor baby ... no ears?!?!? Breaks my heart!

Thanks Megan ... that sure gives one hope! <3 I gave him critical care and he just gobbled it up! I can only take it as a good sign! He's usually the piggy! ~Chris~

Well ... the vet said he looked OK. Said there was a slight scratch above the eye nothing IN the eye, all boo-boo's were scabbed with no sign of infection. No punctured lung, no broken bones, no other signs of injury. She did say that she probably would have treated him with the shot as well...

Thanks Laurie ... I wasn't trying to be Nasty! Just trying to be honest! None of this has been easy for me! I wasn't even trying to "dis" their advice, but the whole shot thing.... is kind of "after the fact" and seemed like it was all that was at topic. I said I'd question it's safety. The...

In the future, I'll question it's safety if he wants to do it again. But not EVERY VET is going to have the same opinion as you or your vet. I ran him RIGHT to the vet! I payed good money for the appt! I'm not complaining at all, or ignoring my chins symptoms. I've called the vet and I'm taking...

I'm still waiting for him to call me back! Grrr, but I'm impatient LOL He is coming down, he was just nibbling on some pumice and my fingers :) Also, I check his boo-boos, all of them .. they are scabbing, dry, clean ... and don't look infected. I even massaged him backwards, moving all his...

I wondered the SAME thing!

He did look him over pretty good, there are no punctures, just the "scalped" scraped behind the ears! The shot he gave him is called Dexemethesone? (sp) Here is what this site says about Chin shock ... http://www.chinchillas.org/raisinchins/health.html (We have seen a condition in...

I feel just horrible :o[ I'll tell you a story first - a little history of the past few weeks that led to yesterday morning! First, I adopted them the beginning of September from a nice girl who couldn't take them to her new apartment. They are a bonded & spoiled pair in a two story ferret...

Thanks so much! They seem to just adore the raw rose petals! They are on the side of my house and have never been sprayed with anything, so I guess as soon as they open I'll be snatching all the pink petals off ... They dry pretty nice on their own, so at least I know they can eat them...

:( no one?

My neighbor just brought me a BAG of fresh rose hips. They are not dried and I don't know what to do with them, can my chins eat them like that? What about fresh undried rose petals? I gave them a quick tiny nibble of one and they went NUTZO! :hmm: Our flowers are untreated and we live in...
