Help!
My 10 year old was playing with his chinchilla, and has said she has fallen.
She wont move her tail or her rear legs at all. She seems fine (other than that), and will eat/drink. Shes quite young. We are going to take her to the vet soon. We suspect her to be paralyzed, as when I squeeze her paws or move her tail, she doesn't feel it. She might be in pain, or could slightly feel it, as once i moved her tail, she bit me, (which she never done before)
What should I do? How is this normally treated?
 
We took her to the vet, she looks like shes trying to move her legs. Nothing is broken (including her back and legs) which is lucky, but she seems stressed. I will keep this updated. Did anyone ever encounter a problem like this?
