My husband and I just learned today that we have to get our chinchilla, Belle, spayed. A few days ago we noticed she had some strange white discharge from her vagina so we immediately called the vet and took her in the next morning (yesterday). Belle didn't have any discharge then but the vet wanted to keep her overnight. As it turns out she has a uterine infection and so she's going to get spayed this afternoon (so glad it was caught in time!).
I was wondering what the effects will be, if it will be much different than anything else getting spayed since I know that chinchillas stress easily. If anybody else has had to have their chinchilla spayed, how did your chin react afterward? I'm sure it's different for each one but I would appreciate any kind of an idea of what to expect. I'm also concerned how she will handle the stress of it, especially because I think she's still stressed out from a big move that we recently made.
