Hello all.
I have two chinchillas that I got when I was in college. The one chinchilla I found out had liver disease at only 6 mos. of age. They put him on antibiotics and special food and he perked back up. They normally live for 15-20 years, but recently he's taken a turn for the worse. He has lost weight and lays on his side a lot. I took him to the vet and the vet said his disease may have spread to his kidneys and he may be going through kidney failure. They gave me antibiotics just in case he might be able to bounce back, but he may not. She said he will probably go down hill from here. I just hope he either gets better or doesn't go through any pain and I make the right decisions for the last moments of his life. Just lookin for a prayer from everyone. Thanks for listening.
