Dear friends, for last few days we are having the battle for life or death with out loving chinchilla.
Is there anything we can do to help her.
It' female chinchilla six years old, saved from a chinchilla farm. She is with us since then and never had any healt issues till now.
We have notice that she is getting big under her neck and front legs, at first we thougt it is fat because she is eating much but it seems that it is not.
Also we noticed that she is not peeing anything and also doing just a little poop.
We took her to vet, but all vets we have here have no experience with chins, they do an x-ray and said that she has enlarged heart and edema in neck area with suspicious in liquidotorax.

They threat her with edemid 40 mg, two times daily 1/8 of the pill.
You can see an x-ray picture in the attachment.
We have been to the vet again, get better x-ray of the skull. There is no change in her behavior, still don't eat alone, we feed her by the syringe. The vet said that her breathing way is little bigger comparing the pictures with last xray and water under her neck and belly is little lower.
