After 6 years of treating his malocclusion I had to let him go.
He was 5 when I got him in 2000, and I was his 3d owner.
His trims started about a year after I got him.He was down to 3 per year.
He had several bouts over the years when he would loose half his body weight, spend weeks being syringe fed, and several times I had said this was the last trim.
Wednesday night he was just too sick, and we decided it was enough.
Cody was my chinchilla hero, he taught me so much over the years.
I will miss him terribly.
