Hi! I am new to this forum and decided to join when it came up as a result when I was researching symptoms with my chinchilla.
I have 2 chinchillas, Lilah and Luna, that I've had for a little over 3 months now. I got them from a shelter, so I'm not sure how old they are.
Anyways, I had to leave for the weekend so I had to transport them about 30mins to ad from a fellow chinchilla owner friend.
Now, 4 days later (the first night I've been home) Lilah started to sneeze a lot. I googled that, and somehow ended up at a lot of malocclusion articles. This lead of course, to hours of observing her every move.
She seems to biting at her fur, and grinding her teeth. She also occasionally grabs at her mouth. Lastly, she lays on her side more than usual, but will hop right up when I open the cage door.
She isn't drooling and is eating/drinking fine, and has the same amount of energy when I go over to the cage. I know its probably been a stressful week for her and I'm paranoid since I left her, but I don't want to pass everything off as such, in case she's in pain. Does it sound like I should go to a vet?
Thank you for you time!!
