Hi.
I'm new to the group. Wondering if someone can please provide some info!
Our chinchilla padme is approx 10-13 years old. We've had her for 8 years and rescued her from the sspca who estimated her to be 2 to 5 years at the time.
In the middle of December she stopped eating and stated to drool. We took her to the vet and he couldn't see her teeth properly. We started painkillers and food stimulants. A few days later we returned with her and a different vet managed to see her front teeth which were curled under at the top, one broken and the bottom and one over grown at the bottom. She was also losing weight but we risked putting her under anestetic. Her teeth were cut and xrayed her. No apparent other issues except a fuzziness in her chest which they believed to be a chest infection. This was28th December. 1 week later she was doing much better came off antibiotics and our only new battle was getting her back to solid food as previously would only eat her pellets if wet. We have been trying that again for another week or so and the last couple days she has started the drooling again.
Took her back to the vet and they said they didn't know what else to do so we could take her to the Edinburgh vet school which is another £175 Just for another vet to look at her. We have already paid £350 approx so far to our own vet. They gave her more anti biotics today to take but I'm really quite angry that they expect us to pay to see someone else when they could be liasing with them to help her.
Not sure what else to do.
Any one know ??
Thanks
