Health / Medicating chinchillas
« on: July 19, 2010, 05:59:22 AM »
My two chinchillas are sneezing and the vet says they have kennel cough. She gave me antibiotics for them but I'm having trouble administering the medicine. I have a syringe and am trying to get it in their mouths but they keep on wriggling and trying to get away. They're fairly skittish and I don't really hold them alot. Does anyone have advice on how to make this process easier? It's especially difficult as one of them is pregnant, I don't want to be too rough with them.
