Mr Bennett and Kat chinchilla U/D 12 - embarrassed myself

Nothing serious, Mr B has snuffles and sneezes a few times a day, been ongoing for sometime.

Kat has never needed to go to the vets in 12 and a half years, she is my only chinchilla that never needed treatment. Her eye is weepy and might have a little irritation or infection, only hope it isn't dental as she would need to go to my specialist exotic vet and we wouldn't get any change from £500 after xrays, meds and GA.

Sending loads of good luck for tomorrow. I do hope that Kat doesn't need a dental - that certainly is expensive :shock:

She must've heard that Sean has now left :)cry:) and so thought there'd be no point in going in to check him out !!

Give him the old wink.

So embarrassed, I couldn't tell the difference between Little Nylon or Kat in the carrier, so who ended up getting a full checked up ? Little Nylon. Of course there was nothing wrong with her. Realised my mistake and handed Kat over. Kat has a very minor eye irritation, everything else, including teeth seemed fine, although she couldn't see the very back ones but everything indicated they were fine. Have a tube of ointment for her.

Mr B is fine, chest clear, nose clear, eyes clear, teeth fine and put on 50 grams. I really thought it would be more, he eats like a horse. She said to avoid abx or steroids as he only sneezes occasionally and everything else is fine.

Sounds as though it all went well then :D And Nylon got a freebie check-up too :lol:
 
That's good news.

Mr B felt about the correct weight to me when I was honoured enough to be granted a cuddle. He's such a sweetie. I can't believe all the destruction you said he is responsible for - I think it must be the same Bad Bunny who gets Spenser into trouble.

I love the way the chins sleep in a big bundle of fur - sooooo cute:love:
 
I feel your embarrassment about being unable to tell them apart in the carrier. Parsley and Bramble are both black otter nethies. I got to the vets and they were both hunched up at the back, so I couldn't see who was bigger and in the stress of being there I totally forgot the other ways I tell them apart. The vet said, are they male and female and I only just managed to spot Bramble before they had the indignity of having their bits stared it!

:lol: Little Nylon is Kats daughter, so no bits to tell the difference. The only way to tell them apart is that Kat is slightly smaller and a slightly different eye shape. Even after all these years my OH cannot tell the difference. Easy with Babydarling as he is a beige chinchilla.
 
we cant tell the difference between Pippin and Peasgood (both full wildie males),

or between two of the 'babies' (the large grey/white lops born here 4 years ago!). We have 6 siblings - but really its just two we cant tell apart!

Thanks, I am glad I am not the only one. They are so similar it is incredibly difficult to tell.

Sorry Jane didn't see your earlier reply. Yes a freebie for Little Nylon, good to know they are all well. They are all getting past middle age now.
 
Oh dear at the embarrassment! I've been there too- Elphie and Galinda, two blue dwarf lops, and they looked so similar to one another. It took me the longest time to work out which was which- they must have switched names a dozen or more times as babies!

Glad to hear all health reports came back positive.
