Health / Dirty Chin, Chews on Fur

« on: October 15, 2013, 01:33:10 PM »

I have a standard gray chin that has slowly been getting dirtier and dirtier. He started chewing on himself recently and his fur is starting to look wet/damp. It started under his chin and has spread to the area around his arms and legs. He's starting to smell too. This is my first time experiencing this problem in the 8 years I've had him.

Health / 6 Day-Old Chin has Wound on Ear?

« on: May 27, 2011, 06:36:13 PM »

Mother-chin gave birth to Baby-chin on Saturday. We noticed a red mark on Baby-chin's ear on day 2. We saw dried blood on it on day 5. On day 6, the ear looks mangled. Baby-chin is in the same cage as Mother-chin and Father-chin. Is one of them the cause of this? Mother-chin has given birth twice before. There may have been missing patches of fur in the past, but never wounds. Baby-chin's behavior has been normal throughout this.

I couldn't really get a good picture, but one can be seen below.

Health / Re: Female chin sluggish, stays at bottom of the cage

Yes, her and her mate weren't separated right away.

We made an appointment to see the vet, but she seems much more energetic now. She's hopping around on all tiers.

It crossed my mind, but she gave birth at the end of May (28th at the earliest), and didn't act this way leading up to that birth.

Health / Female chin sluggish, stays at bottom of the cage

« on: September 06, 2010, 10:32:53 PM »

My roommate came home and found that our female chin was trapped under her plastic ladder (She was on her side, ladder is very light). Roomie took her out and the chin didn't move much at first. She started to walk around very sluggishly and then slept in her dust bath. We put her back in the cage after she woke up and ate. She's eaten, drunken water, and slept while she's been in the cage. Usually she'll sit on a perch with her mate, but she's been glued to the bottom of the cage (It has three tiers) for a few hours now.
