hello i have a male chinchilla(his name xiaobai, 1 year 3 months old, that have been prolapse for 1 month.
Here are the story,
on middle of july 2014, i found my male chinchilla(xiaobai) ***** prolapse(not swelling,redness or swollen etc) in the evening, once i saw my chinchilla having his ***** prolapse, he start to lose his appetite day by days and laying down quite often, not so active as before, but drink still normal/drink more then usual sometime, so i decide to bring xiaobai to our local animal clinic, once the vet told me it was nothing wrong with his ***** and the vet able gently push back his *****, he also told me chinchilla ***** prolapse will come and go sometime , so i feeling much better to hear no problem with xiaobai, after xiaobai back from the clinic the day after, his appetite become lesser and lesser, but he still drinking alot of water sometime(60-70ml a day), so i observe xiaobai for 2 weeks, and everyday eat abit of oxbow grass hay & pellet, he leave the bowl of hay and pellet untouched, so every 4 hour i would change his bowl of foods, he start to stop pooping , everyday he only have a few small poop, weird round shape, irregular size, so i decide bring him to animal clinic again to find a senior vet which have well know for chinchilla, after the vet look into the problem i have told the vet when it happen, he reply me that maybe his having some digestive system problem tat build up gas in chinchilla stomach, and he told me the ***** prolapse nothing to worry about cause there is not swelling/swollen/redness etc, and the ***** look normal, so the vet only give me a medication call cisapride give him every 0.4cc every 4 hours (3 times daily), after i bring xiaobai back home , i start to give him the cisapride medi he take it with no problem at all it seem he like the taste of the cisapride medi, after i give him the sec time of the cisapride medi , he start to poop quite alot, but the poop of the shape still look weird and not normal size, no problem on urine and start to eat quite alot of oxbow grass hay & alfalfa hay, drink 60-80 ml of water a day now, after he took the cisapride medi couple of days , sometime it seem tat he don eat again, sit at corner with eyes half closing like he in pain /illness , but he still eating quite alot and drink alot of water. Every time i apply ky jelly on the ***** and gently push it back and its when in , after an hour or couple of hours , his ***** come out again, then i will need to put it back again , everyday i do this more then 4-5 times daily, but he keep like chewing or bit his ***** more often like 5-6 time a day or more , but there is no hair ring or swelling etc.
sometime he still eat and drink alot, will it still be dental problem ?
because if chinchilla having dental problem or pain in tooth he/she will stop eating or drink right?
i look all over the internet , lot of chinchilla breeder say that when chinchilla ***** prolapse due to both pain/illness/ dental problem , once he fully recover from illness or pain , the ***** will retract itself and everything back to normal. is that true ??????
anyone have this problem before? can share with me how to solve it ?
please i really need advice & help!
already been 1 month now
Thank Alot !!!
