So, I started thinking :hmm: after I had updated my emergency medical care kit that if something were to happen where I was out of town, deceased, or unreachable, who ever is caring for my babies should have a resource available to them for what to look for in terms of health issues and what to do about it/ what can be used in the emergency kit for each purpose. I started doing research and trying to compile the information in a brief way that would be easily usable to someone who needs to research a concern.
However, I am by no means an expert or veterinarian. In addition, I've owned chinchillas for 3 years, but still have A LOT to learn.
I was hoping perhaps someone who is knowledgeable could look through the information and identify bad information as well as information that should be added. I have the document in microsoft publisher and could email it to a willing person. I also have my bunny/hedgehog/guinea pig care included... but will be contacting others to help me with those sections. Thank you!!!
Also, I notice that people often get very passionate on these forums when they disagree and want to ask that who ever edit my info realize I am looking for the correct information for a reason, because first and foremost I want the proper care for my animals. I am not presenting it as fact and know that I am only learning all the ways to help chins with medical concerns. Therefore, even though I am uncomfortable with opening myself up for possible heated criticism-- what I really want is constructive criticism only for the health and love of my fur babies!!!
(they are my children-- im sure many of you feel the same way!!)
