Linda has improved since I took her to the vet on Saturday, however, it seems like she only improved to a certain point and then stopped. Her droppings have doubled in size from when they were at their worst, however, they're only 1/2 - 3/4 of the size of my healthy chinchillas' droppings. The color, moisture, and texture of her droppings are perfect though. Also, her energy level has improved from when she was at her worst, but it's nowhere near it used to be before all of this happened. She still spends most of her time resting, although she doesn't seem to avoid her cagemate anymore like she did when she was really bad. She still loves her dust baths, and takes them enthusiastically. But she doesn't run in her wheel or bounce off the wall for hours on end anymore. Also, she still doesn't eat as much hay and pellets as she used to, especially the pellets, it seems. I don't know if this is because I have been filling her up with the pineapple/papaya treatments that the vet recommended or what. Don't get me wrong, I do see her picking at her timothy hay and timothy cubes throughout the day, it's just not disappearing at nearly the rate it used to. Also, this afternoon I noticed she had been sneezing a lot. I think it's possible that something went down the wrong way when I was giving her a treatment with a dropper, as I didn't notice it until after her last treatment, and it seems to have calmed down now that it's been several hours since the treatment. I'm just not sure what I should do at this point. Should I take her to the vet again? Should she go to a different vet or the same one I took her to on Saturday? Could she be dying?
