Memorials / Chinchi <3 , my brave lil chinch

« on: March 02, 2015, 07:46:07 PM »

Chinchi was 6 years old and died due to trauma consequences. I did everything I could. If only I stopped the trauma from happening, if I was only more alarmed when my family member made that fatal move. If I took Chinchi back to her cage 5 minutes before it happend when I was thinking of it , she would still be in here cage, sitting on that shelf and looking at me as I am typing.These are the thoughts that haunt me. I decided to try and get past that and remember her not from that trauma and pain but from the time before. I miss the Look in her eyes, her little nose,snout, her paws. She use to always rest one paw on my hand. I use to feel Like a giant when she did that , and yet she was so brave and trustful. She will always be my brave little sweetheart. She kept fighting till the end. I spent a lot of time with her during her pain, but also gave her some peace Because wanted to be alone sometimes. In her last moments we had together I was examining her a bit and petting her and then gave her peace to run around. She was not doing so well and she started hiding in places I wouldn't see her. She wanted to be alone. But there was this one moment where she started reaching out to me , from a wooden house she started coming towards me.She barely got outside and stood there in front of me. She was barely moving and she did all this Trouble Just to come to me.I then petted her and tried to give her comfort. After that she stayed a little longer and then went back inside, back to the pain. This was our last true moment together. I feel Like that was her Goodbye.I put her in her cage later , and in the morning I saw her laying down exhausted. She was peacefully sleeping, and I was just staring at her. I was Happy she finally got some sleep. Two hours later , after I woke up again, she had already started her eternal dream. She will never be forgotten, she will forever stay in my heart and many others she touched during these 6 years. I will always remember our walks, how she let me into her heart Because I got her when she was 1 year old, she was quite skittish.We bonded, she use to always run around while I was reading books or studying. She was really determined to bite the book covers, she use to Jump over the book while I was reading it, and she would be all over my face. Chinchi also used to steal my pencils and chew on them, she also really liked stealing tissues. Raisins Were her favorite though. I shed some tears during writing this, but when I saw this topic I felt I needed to honor her and write her story. I will love you forever, my brave little soldier.

Thank you for your answer. I'm sad she died so young, for a chinchilla that is.

Thank you all for your answers. They actually helped a lot. I was surprised about the only head xrays too. We already buried her so we can't do a necropsy. I hope there won't be a next time for this kind of thing, but if there will I'll demand a full body check up . I appreciate your help. Thank you!

10 days ago a family member pinned a whole bed on my chinchilla by accident. She was sneezing blood, and her nose was bleeding. I sprayed some sea salt in her nose so that the blood can go away more easily. We took her to one of those trauma/surgery veterinary departments. They gave her an injection again ts pain. I then noticed she couldn't eat Because her mouth hurt.We did an xray of her head which didn't show any fractions.They decided to continue the injection therapy. I hand fed her with her normal Food mixed with water. She also ate fruit but on her own. She was getting better and started eating her normal food. She only had like a "runny" nose Because Of the blood that dry ed in there. They Said that would go away.The day before yesterday she started making sounds Like she was in pain. I decided to give her a day Because that was the day after her therapy ended so They told us she may react this way. Yesterday she started breathing heavily Like she has something blocking her breathing. Later that day she started breathing only on the mouth, and heavily trying to breath through the nose. The vet didn't work at that time and I was unable to take her Because of school. I thought about going to the emergency care but somehow I was hoping this would go away, it was also pretty late so sadly it wasn't an option. I was suppost to take her to the vet this morning but she died this morning, somewhat before we had to take off. The vets Said she would have a Full recovery and I want to know why this happend. I also thought about it being my fault for not hand feeding her yesterday, she was gagging Because it was in the way of her breathing and I felt sorry for her and was gonna Wait for professional advice. I'm afraid of the fact did she dehydrate, but it was probably less than 24 hours if she didn't get water. Or was it the breeding problems? I feel so sorry for her, she was 6 years old, I miss her so much already.
