I just woke up its 1 o'clock in the morning here and my chinchilla wouldn't move from his laying down spot on his side, which is really weird for him. I finally got him up by petting him but then he started crawling. He was having a hard time walking so I panic and I get him out to check him. I put him in the floor and he slowly walks away and then starts exploring like he normally does. Then I go to pick him back up and he just runs with no problem like he normally does!
So when I finally got him back in the cage, he wanted back out but when I shut the door he when to jump to his ledge and fell but then went on like nothing ever happened. He made it all the way to the top of his 3 level cage and when on his favorite ledge. Now he is laying on his side (which is normal for him, he loves laying like that)
But something is wrong! He has had past UTIs. The only thing I can think of is I redid their cage with more ledges and bridges. Maybe he hurt himself? His cage mate is trying to groom him but he is chirping at him.
The problem is tomorrow is Sunday, there is no vet office open and I'm suppose to leave town tomorrow! I cannot leave him like this but I can't cancel this trip due to health reasons. My brother is suppose to be watching them while I'm gone but he doesn't know a thing about chinchillas or their doctor.
What do I do?!
