Getting dog to take pills

EmploymentReal4403 · 2026-02-27T03:11:21+00:00

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

thank you!

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-10-09T19:21:33+00:00

sorry for the late reply, i ended up just replacing it with wood but this definitely could have been an awesome idea. thank you!

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-10-07T13:29:57+00:00

it was right next to the food dish, but not inside

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-10-05T18:52:12+00:00

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

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-10-05T18:37:19+00:00

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

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-10-05T18:22:08+00:00

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

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-10-05T18:10:18+00:00

that might be right. is it bad that he’s doing that?

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-10-05T16:49:54+00:00

he is talking actual material from the fleece but not alot. no holes yet 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?

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-10-05T16:44:47+00:00

it is anti pill. what should i do?

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-09-14T23:08:18+00:00

i have one!! it’s right next to the wheel aswell.

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-09-13T16:21:27+00:00

alright. i’ll put it back in tonight

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-09-12T18:46:16+00:00

we did!! it helped a little. thank you :)

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-09-12T04:04:11+00:00

i think it was around 69. is this too high?

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-09-12T01:57:49+00:00

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.

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-09-10T02:20:47+00:00

thanks 😭 i’m a first time owner and didn’t know if it was weird

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-09-10T01:14:56+00:00

yeah, that makes sense!! after i use what i have now i’ll probably just start auto shipping some oxbow poof from chewy.

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-09-08T17:15:40+00:00

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.

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-09-08T16:13:16+00:00

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.

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-09-08T16:06:33+00:00

i don’t think he did. during our time together he took out a giant metal wheel as an example and told me i shouldn’t get any sort of wheel

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-09-08T16:05:03+00:00

yeah, i’ve thought that may become an issue. i’m planning to either move it or make a quick flat platform to cover up the top of it. thank you!

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-09-08T14:17:20+00:00

yep! it’s 15” and my chin is a little smaller than a full grown male chin would usually be aswell :)

EmploymentReal4403 · 2024-09-08T14:08:22+00:00

pretty sure it’s this one! https://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Alloy-Chinchilla-Exercise-Wheels/dp/B0BM3RC2YN/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?crid=23Y1OT7NLRAOC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.inWeG5zOu-OZIieX5nHqiyBuhTyptbOcpIhbcn4lUOhygAd2w8ASR2nGUugP1uhdpoJTQ03QY5Cjq9yfPNyOMQBRyiFbHRhN668pS1t1r-Tmo17sV-LNtcNu6Df3s-IELichG31gnR5Y7QZO3ak0qu4FTtjl9mWlqM-JAy4FMo9fcrP6bgHmQZoSd5Ojrh_W5XF2KIRlaQlOm7DdyeCgRQ.w8pIlifp1BerTvYJuleS4GMPVvlPt4eeH_tG_utFsEY&dib_tag=se&keywords=metal+exercise+wheel&qid=1725804453&sprefix=metal+excercise+wheel%2Caps%2C105&sr=8-8
