Hi,

my chinchilla was having very small poop and dry. she have been put under sleep and check on the teeth etc all teeth are normal wear and molar all in good position. my vet is have see many chinchilla before he have 25 year experience .

he say that my chinchilla have gas/bloat although she not eating or drink much he can feel his stomach that have quite lot of gas inside.


she under medication (cisapride & fibreplex with pro-biotic ) for 2days now , medi take every 4 hours.

but she still have quite alot very very small poop and dry. but she will eat abit of oxbow pellet maybe 5-8 a day is very less but she will at least start eat abit, but Timothy hay she just take one or two only for a day.

should i give my chinchilla a piece of shredded wheat ?

any advice are welcome ! thank !

update :

She is pregnant for about 2 months now , i can saw baby moving inside her stomach. :) that why cause her not eating properly , as my chinchilla vet say if chinchilla is pregnant they will feel very full cause of having baby inside them and their stomach is small not like human. but until the last week she going to give birth she will eat alot .

cant wait for the baby to be deliver :))
