Health / New Chin problems
« on: November 06, 2011, 09:58:10 PM »
Hello, We are first time Chinchilla parents. We got "Lucky" from a pet store that told us
he is about 6 months old. They knew very little about chinchilla's, they did not tell us that
it would not be good to change his food suddenly. He has had diarrhea for a couple of days
now; seems to be getting a little better. He is active, eating & drinking & playing! We gave
him some probiotic to try to bring him back into balance. I have been reading everything
I can and we have given him the best of everything. How long can it take for him to get
back into balance with his diet, and how can we stop the diarrhea? Any advise would be
very much appreciated! Thanks for your help.. Sincerely, Ozlady
