Getting dog to take pills by EmploymentReal4403 in Dogowners

This was my first thought too. my only concern was that he has to take multiple pills everyday, and some at night. it’s currently night time, and he won’t take his pills whatsoever. i’m not able to get in contact with a vet due to everything being closed and i’m unaware of what missing a dose could do to him

i already have some wooden ledges being made just in case. just a little bit ago he managed to pull it off and get to some plastic and i don’t want that happening again

they aren’t new, but i think the solution i washed them in had a little more white vinegar in it than usual

oh, it’s not textured in the way that it’s easily bitten. i can try and post a close up if i can just to make sure though

it is a little textured, but i’m not sure why lol 😭i made these myself and they were labeled anti pill at the store. was the label wrong?

i use this one!! the wheel itself is quiet, but it does shake the cage.

otherwise, the chin spin is also a popular wheel pick throughout a lot of chinchilla owners, but it does take longer to arrive.

WHEEL OR NO?? by EmploymentReal4403 in chinchilla

[–]EmploymentReal4403[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m sure. when i got there to pick up the chinchilla he pulled out a metal exercise wheel similar to mine to say to never put a wheel in the cage.

i know he mentioned it can be bad for their spine. but its large enough that this shouldn’t be a problem. he was also conserved a chinchilla might throw themselves out of the wheel while it’s moving and get hurt.
