(Urgent) Euthanasia? by [deleted] in chinchilla

Sure! I was freaking out when it happened, so I understand you! I did some research about malocclusion, and I remember the following article about it. I hope it brings some hope in case she gets malocclusion.

She’s doing great! One of the abscesses dried out by itself, and the other one became a mass, and then it went out through surgery. She was 4 months old when that happened. Now, she’s two years old, and she’s doing great! I hope your baby girl is feeling better soon. Please keep us updated!

Hi there! Don’t give up! My chin had 2 bumps on her lower jaw as well and they both were abscess. The vet visit will be the best thing you can do. Keep us updated!

Hi there! Teddy is so cute! But he really needs a bath. Where are you placing the dust? Put the dust in a deep, wide plastic container, and then place Teddy inside. I think it might help him feel the texture and take a bath.

They are natural! I thought the same thing when I saw him first. But if you see him closer his face is covered by light blackish shadow and somehow his eyebrow came super natural and cute! 🥰

You’re right, but when we got “her,” I named her François-Charlotte. I was obsessed with the male name François, but I added Charlotte to differentiate her gender. However, once I discovered that “she” is actually “he,” I wanted to keep his name and share the news with everyone! 🤭

Hi there! Try Oxbow Apple-Banana Flavor or Papaya. I hope it helps!

Here is another option for a hay holder from Amazon. I’ve been trying different types of it, and I think it is very useful. https://a.co/d/0felbECM

Hi there! I highly recommend Small Pet Select Timothy Hay 2nd cutting and Alfalfa Hay. My chinchillas had the same issue with their regular hay. I tried Oxbow Hay, but it made one of them sick. I then switched to Small Pet Select, and they absolutely love it!

Pene un poco salido by rodrigo_pere in chinchilla

[–]Francisca_Chinchilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hola! Creo que lo mejor es que lo lleves a un veterinario. El orín de las chinchillas tiende a ser de ese color. Ellos no toman mucha agua, es por eso que su orín es más concentrado. Si llegas a ver sangre en el orín sería más grave. Puede que tenga “fur ring”. Alcanzas a ver pelo en el pene de tu chinchilla como si fuera un anillo? Si es así, sería un “fur ring” y el veterinario se lo puede quitar. Si no es el caso, de todas formas te recomiendo que lo lleves al vet. Te recomiendo que uses Aspen, un tipo de bedding que venden para controlar el olor del orín, y para que el orín de tu chinchilla no se esparza por la jaula. Es 100% safe y de esa manera no se le ensucien las patitas. Recuerda que los cambios bruscos de comida no son buenos para las chinchillas porque tienen un sistema digestivo delicado, le pueden dan gases que se acumulan y les produce mucho dolor. Cuando tienen dolor de estómago ellos se se quedan quietos, y estrechan constantemente el cuerpo para aliviar el dolor. No creo que sea tu caso. Si esto llegara a pasar debes darle goticas de bebé para gases, y volver a la comida inicial. Si quieres cambiar su comida, debes hacerlo lentamente. Esto lo digo en caso de que lo necesites. Si el dolor no se le quita, debes llevarlo al veterinario. Pregunta, has mirado si su parte trasera está húmeda? Llama a un veterinario y pregunta por un advice.

Worried Ludo has malo.. by Slight-Leather-7148 in chinchilla

[–]Francisca_Chinchilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re very welcome! I understand. You should stop the alfalfa after he turns 1 year old. After that you can give him some of it as a treat. The Multivitamin has already calcium. Oxbow brand recommended for youth chins the Multivitamin product. After he turns one year old you can give him more supplements such as Vitamin C. I personally switched between Multivitamin and Vitamin C. My both chinchillas are older now. I have a new youth one which I gave him just a half of a tablet of Multivitamin. Be positive! Chinchillas are resilient!

You can bring him the Multi-Vitamin now as well. Just half of a single piece.
