Bumps on ears/watery eyes
« on: January 06, 2008, 08:43:17 PM »

As I said already in a post in this forum, about a week ago, my 3 year old chinchilla passed away.  He had no apparent symptoms until the last 24 hours before his death. 

Now though, I'm concerned about my sister's chinchilla, Mico, as well.

He's about 8 months old and my sister got him only a month ago.  We did let Mico and Gizmo play together twice (and they had seperate cages in seperate rooms).  What we've noticed now is that Mico's eyes are suddenly watery.  (They are not running though.)  Also, Mico's ears have a few wart like bumps on them.  But, he's very active, has nice teeth and no hair rings.

I'm just wondering if the "warts" and the watery eyes are something to worry about... And also, Gizmo had runny eyes, but never had "warts" on his ears.

She already set up an appointment with the vet for next thursday, but if you guys think we should make it an urgent appointment, let me know!
