Hello everybody, my name is Luke. I have two Chinchillas and a 105 lbs dog. My dog is named Miles and the Chins are named Smokey and Lucky. Lucky got his name just recently because of two different happenings.
Just over a week ago I woke up to Lucky making a horrible sound. I ran to the cage and saw Lucky's nose was bald and raw looking. I rushed him to the vet and he ended up spending 3 nights there. His nose swelled up so much that he couldn't breathe. He had to breath through his mouth. The vet thinks that it was an insect or a spider bite that caused his problem.
I brought him home last Wednesday and he was not well. I gave him his meds every 12 hours. Saturday night I gave him his meds and he was fine. I woke up Sunday morning, less than 4 hours after I last saw him, and he was out of the cage. I searched on my hands and knees for at least 30 minutes looking for him. Then I walked into my bedroom, where me and my 105 lbs dog sleep, and Lucky was sitting in the middle of the room. He didn't even try to run when I went to pick him up.
That is why his name is Lucky
 
Hi and welcome! Wow! I have a cat named Lucky for similar reasons, but his name is nowhere near as fitting as it is for your Lucky! Hopefully Lucky won't give you any more reasons to panic in the future, lol. It's great to have you here.
 
Welcome to the group. Sounds like Lucky has had quite an ordeal. Thank goodness you and the vet took quick action!
