As I stated earlier in this thread, Chipper's stones were both in his urethra. I was told this removal was risky and I took that risk hoping it would mean life for my little buddy rather than the death he already faced. I'm sad to say it didn't. Chipper passed away around 5:30 this afternoon. Sometimes you can do everything right and it still doesn't work. I'm still in denial that it was his time but it doesn't change the fact that he's no longer with me.
Thank you all, again, for your compassion and advice. I couldn't think of going through this without you. Your support means alot to me.
I have one last question. The vet gave me Chipper's two large stones and I didn't think of this until I got home with them. Would it really help anyone else if I got them analyzed? Would any other chinchilla benefit from learning what makes up a different chin's kidney stones? My vet is probably going to think I'm crazy for spending more money on this when it won't benefit the original patient, but I'll do it for research sake if it will help.
