Hello! my chinchilla has had diarrhea for almost a month! I am from Greece, and as you may well know, there are no exotic vets here. I took him to a regular vet and she found no parasites. So she suggested that I give him "florentero",a medicine controlling the normal flora of the intestine and the antibacterial medicine "baytril". They did not work, so she prescribed "baktrimel" that deals with coccidia. She was not sure though that the problem was coccidia but we tried the medicine because these parasites could not be detected by a usual microscope. Please help me! I do not know what else to do. I am afraid for my chin. Thank you!
