Thank you All!
I have decided since she will not take the Activia or meds from me, she is now in the hospital for 10 days.
I just don't understand because the dr checked everything and she was fine, except for the bacteria and white blood cells. She is very Active...She came out of her cage on Tuesday and was running around and then went back in for some water, ran on her wheel almost all night (she loves her wheel). She doesn't seem like she is weak or anything. To me she seems back to normal after Sunday when all the milky liguid came out...When my alarm goes off in the morning she is waiting for me to clean her cage and pet her and say good morning and when I go take a shower she always goes in her igloo and sleeps and then when I get home from work she is on the top of her cage with her head squeezed inbetween the cage bars waiting for me to open it and give her her treats and fresh food. She eats her food and her treats and still plays. So, I am completely confused.
I am going to see her tomorrow to give her a bath and clean the cage, so I will bring what you ladies have told me and ask the dr.
Thanks again.

Hello,
What do Chinchillas do when they are in Heat? I went to the Vet and nobody is explaining to me what is going on with her.
They ran some tests of the white liquid that was coming out of her and she said that there is a lot of bacteria in the swabs that I took of it. Then they swabbed her v area inside and they tested that and it came back with a little bacteria but a lot of white cells. They don't know if the bacteria is in her uterus which they told me can not be cured, but if it is in her bladder then I can give her antibiotics. So, they gave me the antibiotic and I went and got some activia. Dash will not take either one and when I have tried all different ways for both the activia and medicine she gets so stressed out and I don't want to put her through that either because clumps of fur was coming out, so I stopped and let her relax. Last night was the first night since she has been sick that she did not poop much at all.
The doctor told me that her fur is in good condition, her teeth are perfect, her ears are good and they checked her stomach and eyes and those are fine too. I brought in all the things that I give her...(food, treats etc) and I took pictures of her cage and the stuff in the cage and the dr said that everything that I am doing is good. I just want to know what is wrong with her.

I think it is coming from her Butt. Her tail is all wet and her butt is all wet along with her back paws. She keeps licking it all.
I have a Vet appt today. I took some q-tips and took samples of it last night and put it in a bag. She seems to be doing better today, but I slept next to her cage last night to make sure she was drinking water and she was ok.

Hello,
My Chinchilla had this milky white liquid that has been coming out all day today. I have a Vet appt for her tomorrow, cause they said it was not that urgent. Does anyone know what that is and what I should do? She keeps licking and pulling at it because she is all wet and it smells.
Please help!
Thank you in advance!

Thank you All for your advice. I had my friends come over one day and she was fine the rest of the weekend by herself. I am glad when I got home...She was sooo happy to see me.

Q & A / Just a few questions...concerns...

Hello,
I have had my Chinchilla for 7 months now...
She loves to get on my arm and force her head under my arm pit and lay there. When I start petting or scratching her tail/butt, she makes this cute little noise and then there is this smell. What is that?
Also, she has these plastic igloo houses where she loves to go in and sleep all the time and a plastic corner piece in the cage for her Timothy Hay that she loves to sit in and poop and eat her hay. She now all of a sudden chews the crap out of them when I go to bed. She used to be so quiet at night and now I keep hearing her chew all the plastic in the cage. Is there something wrong with her and why all of a sudden she is into plastic? I warn her a couple times and then if I have to get out of bed the third time I take the plastic out of her cage and then she crys.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Q & A / Re: Leaving for the weekend

I worry too, that is why I always take her with me. This time I can't. I keep reading and asking others and they say that it is ok to leave them for the weekend as long as I leave food. I just always have her cage open when I am at home so if she wants to come out. But for not having it open on Friday, Saturday and part of Sunday I don't know what she would do. She has a 6ft by 3ft cage with 4 levels so I am not worried about her not having her excercise and she loves her cage. This is a tough one...

Hello,
I am leaving for the weekend - Friday night and returning in the afternoon on Sunday. Is it ok to leave my baby girl for that long? I always take her with me, but this time I can't and I don't have anyone to watch her. If I leave enought food for her will she be ok?
Thank you!
