Health / Re: Easy way to tell if chinchilla is peeing

« on: February 03, 2014, 04:17:12 PM »

The vet isnt sure how it formed. but know he'll be more likely to have it again in the future. Once he's all better ill have to maybe adjust there diet not sure how but figured id worry about it later.

He's doing better i have his e-collar off as he just sits in his house, i know still got a while to go. Going vet this weekend and hopefully be all done.

Also if need back story on Thursday notice he was making sounds and when looked it up found similar problem they suggested he couldnt pee. Took him the the ER and found a stone making him not able to be able to pee. There first choice was a surgery but due to high costs couldn't afford it so did second option which was cut him little and pull it out and let it heal back.

Next day took him back was free re-check in 24 hour since hasn't pooped since got home, again was a major surgery but easily over a grand. They gave him more meds thinking maybe since hasn't had pain meds yet was hurting to much to poop. He has pooped and still is since 5am on Saturday.

Now i just need to make sure he is still peeing

I need to monitor my chinchilla to make sure hes peeing and pooing. Luckily he started pooping again and peed some since vet but extremely little. As for last 24 hour im not for sure mostly i figure how small amount he'd pee might go away before id see it. Vet suggested papers but he'd prob just eat ton of it maybe. Cant use carefresh since might stick to him.

Right now its just plastic floor and little cloth of fleece. Also theirs hay on the floor.
Worst is when gotta work since cant check for 8 hours

Secondly is an other suggestions to keep him hydrated and fed. Hes on 4 different medicines at the moments twice a day(figured alot liquid there). Ima go pick up some pedialyte now. Ive given him very little water through syringe. Hes eaten a tiny amount of critical care (his choice). Also he has 2 packs still of water attached to him i dont know what you call his to help keep him hydrated.

Any suggestion i haven't covered to help be helpful. Right now not really anymore a vet can do just hope he heals and all works out.

It is recommended that they have food that's just pellets. Couple good brands are Mazuri and Oxbow there are others you can use as well. It could be the treats that are causing it or something else. For now id pick out the treats it doesn't look to be to many and just give him pellets for now.

Mine have gotten wet a few times one time i took away pellets completely for 24 hours and just left him hay which you can try if doesn't improve.

You probably know but if does get diarrhea it needs to go to the vet.

That is skinny around 325g. You can maybe try alfalfa hay which is more faty than timothy hay or some alfalfa hay cubes they gotta work some for that. Some one else prob has more ideas.

My little scale has a bowl which is really nice that cant walk away easy. Also i found good way to keep them to stay is give them a treat on the scale. Most likely there sit on the scale and eat it or maybe run away than eat it if so try to keep hands around him so he cant run and try to quickly get a weight.

I dont know why but had same thing happen to mine. Hed always run away hate to be picked up and after he was in vet for so long he will never run away can pick him up so easy. I just figured because he was being handled so much by random people.
