pH Question

[Claire D]

This might seem like a random question but I can't find the info anywhere .............

Does anyone know the pH of chinchilla saliva or know where I can find a reference for it?

Wow that's a great question! I have no idea so I'm not much help :innocent:

Why would you like to know... just out of curiosity?

I'm just curious where this comes from? Is it in something that we could all read?

Yes I would like a reference for this please - maybe I should have been more specific and asked:

Chinchillas get ORLs? o.o I thought it was only a cat thing. Now I need to go hunting for the paper... lol

David Crossley has written some excellent papers on chinchilla dental disease - if you find any of his work it is well worth a read.
