As several people know I have been waiting anxousily for Jade one of my Huge standard girls who was bred to Dr Patel (white champion male) to give birth. Well Today she did,
I got out of work an hour early and headed home, I got home and checked the chinchillas as usual.
First thing I noticed was 3 dead white kits in the cage, 2nd thing I noticed was what looked like half of a kit. the 3 dead kits look cleaned and dried. I could tell they were white, I began cleaning the mess
I found that what I thought was half a kit was a whole kit with the midsection torn out. Mom is/was a bloody mess but is not damaged I am thinking he (I checked the sex) came out wrong and had to be torn apart.
Kit 2 was cold, white female bit through the nose seemed like she maybe had to be pulled roughly
Kit 3 also cold stiff also white, female was very small. I grabbed the third also a white female who was cold, but I thought I saw a leg move.....
I set her down and looked really close cause no way. She is cold and stiff.........
I see her front leg move the tiniest bit. I grab her and go to the kitchen sink and turn on the water. I carefully place her under the hot water and begin massaging. AS I do this I pump her lungs and blow air through her mouth and nose. she gasps and fluid comes out her lungs.
She lays there gasping and I massage and massage her. I grab a syring and get a little more fluid, she begins moving a bit. I massaged her for an hour warming her under water and then with her wrapped in a towel.
I have now given her back to mom, I am supplimenting to give her the best chance she has. After I got her going I did try her sisters briefly but It was way to late then but sadly I had to go with the one that moved....As the other two I felt were very very gone,
She weighs 35 grams which in a single kit would alarm me but not necessarily in a quad. She is under mom and staying warm. I am sorry for the photos. Jade isn't completely clean yet and it was a difficult birthing. Jade is doing good, the baby needs some prayers but has a chance.

I've done that a few times. I hope the little one makes it. Patel is the super awesome one that you want beebees from, right?
