Well just checking in. Been a hell of a weekend. I will post tomorrow. To shandy, she is doing better. Up to 252g, now its just slow paced as she has gotten her water back. She's eating and bouncing around and stuff. Still not herself. Don't worry bottlegate has been resolved. The vet still is having the parents administer fluids through syringe in the form of goats milk and baby. Sweet carrot or applesauce. Not much anymore though. She's still reserved but leans and bounds better. She's on a. 1ml per day of baytril. Seems to be binding her up a.tad. but safe than sorry. Moving on, we were to say dropped into an odd situation. A local animal shop, not pet store had a baby situation. By situation 2 boy chinchillas aren't both boys. So we inherited a 1year old pink white and her 24 hour old kit. His sibling was a still born. This is the first litter and the boy came in at 45g this morning and 46g tonight. However I need advise on this. The parents were a pink white and a white ebony. I know about the lethal gene. Now with this young boy, is there going to be health problems in the long run or are we out of the woods with him. He's doing well as is mom. The wanted someone who knew more about chins than them to take over, so we stepped in after a early 9 am call. We will have them going forth. Thkere is a distinct possibility of a back breed so thy have given us mom and baby to keep and raise. All advise is welcomed. Have a good night. And to think there were going to be no more kits here. O and both parents were purshased from a ranch breeder in southern ny or northern pa. Well bed time for me. : )
