Tilly may have an eye infection

[Lshaw]

Hi, all. Brand new here and I need some advice! We noticed today, Tilly (she's our year and a half old chin that we love very much!!) is losing hair around her right eye. I do not know if this constitutes an emergency but from what I've read any sign of sickness in a chin needs to be addressed immediately. So far she is not exhibiting any unusual behavior and is playful as always! My question is should I be running to an emergency vet or even making an appointment? I read tinactin in the dust bath was a possible treatment for fungal infections, which I do not know if thats what it is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

my chinchilla has the same problem,but we know she has malocclusion so when we that happen we schedule an appointment to trim her teeth. I would take her to the vet asap to check for overgrown teeth. It could be just a simple eye infection, caused by irritation from hay or dust, or something more serious like a final or bacterial infection, regardless id say check her into a vet
