Hi, I found your site while looking for some advice. I have a 20/21 year old chinchilla named Oscar. He is an amazing little guy who has always been in fantastic health. He is mostly blind this last year and has slowed down considerably. Currently he managed to get a scratch on his eye and it is infected. I took him to the vet and he was given metacam for pain and an antibiotic eye drop.
Here is my current problem, day 1, 2 and 3 went well, but he has decided he is done cooperating and does everything in his power to not be picked up and held for his drops, including barking and biting.
Any tips to make this easier?
