Only one has fur missing above nose and a very tiny spot to his forehead. The missing fur doesn't spread one week now, and there is no redness or dry skin. The other one has one watery eye and the fur every day seems to be less from his eye to the nose. But not around his eye. This happens one week now to this chin.
Another one started 3 weeks ago (when the symptoms started, and the one with the fur missing from nose and above started to happen) to have a watery eye but more serious with white liquid that made his eye completely shut. I read and asked about this symptoms, the first conclusion was that it may be conjunctivitis and it is almost two weeks now that I use antibiotic drops to his eye and from the third day that I use this treatment he has no longer white liquid running from his eye.
However, this chin, the other one with the eye missing fur and two others, not the one with the missing fur above his nose, continue to have ONLY one watery eye, not both, no white liquid, only watery eye, one week now, and they seem not to be able to open it completely and something disturbs their eye because they close it and open it many times. Like we humans do when something goes in our eyes and try to clean it.
I hope to understand, because English is not my native language.
All these symptoms seem very strange to me. From what I have read and discuss they look like fungus but not sure that is really fungus... The vet that saw the one with the fur missing above nose, said it is fungus. But when I asked her about the fungus symptoms she told me that she can't find another explanation. Finally the four of the six chins have flakes, like dry skin, behind and low at their ears. I have posted photos for this.
As for acidophilus you are right and I was thinking about today morning. I will start to give them every night acidophilus as the treatment is only every morning.
This chinchilla is taking oral treatment 9 days now.
