a noticable belly wet dishcharge is not normal. She needs a vet Now. If you get to a vet early enough there is a chance to correct pyometria with antibiotics not a spay. If you wait until monday you may be paying for a very expensive spay, (think thousands)
 
Pee is not slimy or thick or clear. I have chinchillas that sit in pee their whole belly does not get wet. There is something going on with your chinchillas
 
ok, well...I'll keep a close eye on her tonight.
She is all dry and there is no discharge anymore.
 
since I didnt go into detail, I didnt get the chance to mention that i have her and her daughter in with a neutered male I also got..
I just happen to look over just a second ago to find him chasing around the momma chin (the one we are talking about) and humping her like crazy!

Could this be the clear discharge problem?

How long ago was he neutered?
 
He doesnt have balls..and the person straight up told me he was neutered.
Can a neutered male chinchilla produce any kind of discharge/fluid?
Could my female chin be producing the discharge due to penetration to her "female parts"?
 
the testes drop they are not always visable..people lie. I have had kits from a "spayed" female before I knew better. There is something going on there. If you are not sure since we cannot see the animal you should go to a vet.
 
He was neutered a long time ago she said. He really doesnt have anything down there. And I might take her to the vet, but she looks pretty clean down there, is acting normal, and is having really any discharge at all anymore. I'll keep an eye on her threw out the night ..Ill be up
 
I can't tell you how many times I have heard..but he was nuetered...and he doesn't have his balls, we hear that at least once a week here, The "balls: as you say sit up out of sight most of the time in many males. If I didn't know better I would believe most of my males to be nuetered. So either you have an unuetered male or your female has pyometria.

Thing with pyometria is when she is open there is a discharge, if she closes it is a closed infection with no discharge so maybe she just closed, Watch her all you want she will act normal until it is too late. Good breeders and owner miss these infections because chinchillas hide illness until they are on deaths door. So wait since you plan on it any way, wait and if you are wrong and something is wrong you will watch your new chinchilla die.

Maybe you will be lucky and it will be nothing, but heat discharge is little to no dishcharge, even a mating would not give her a wet belly. Urine will not give her a clear slimy belly, something is going on...If you wait it will be too late. It is ultimatly your choice though. If it is something then it is on you for not taking her to the vet since you don't know what you are seeing
 
and just saying, the wetness on her belly was not slimy. it dried right up back to her fluffy normal fur and the only slim on her fur was right near her "girl parts" and it dried hard and together. Like I said, she was laying in pee also.
She only had some and its starting to go away.
Its clear and slick, like snot. No smelly or white or thick.
She doesnt seam to have the actual symptoms of what your talking about.
 
I have to agree with Erin- you sound quick to talk yourself out of a vet visit.

While I would hate to have to take a chin to the vet shortly after I got it... that's what comes with owning several chins. With each chin you add, comes more potential vet bills.

And that neutered male? Without some document or some contact from the vet saying that they surgically went in and removed his testes... I would not believe he is neutered. It's not exactly a common thing the way cats/dogs are neutered everyday...
 
CutiePie, you've had some good advice here. get the female to a vet. and get a separate cage set up for the male, just to be on the safe side. you don't want or need three pregnant females on your hands.
