Strep
« on: September 09, 2013, 07:32:14 PM »
So I just went to the doctor this morning and found that I have strep. Last night it didn't hurt nearly like it does today, and I let my chins out for playtime. I washed my hands and tried to be careful (keeping my mouth covered, etc) but strep is a bacterial infection that chins can catch. So my question is how long do I keep an eye out for (since it take can a few days for humans to show signs), and what do I look for? I'm so worried! Thanks!!!

I'd watch for unprecedented weight loss. I imagine it would effect their appetites first.

I'm a programmer not a chinchilla breeder. I learn by asking questions just like you.
