🚨 Síntomas de Emergencia
⚠️ Síntomas Urgentes
Dental Problems (Malocclusion)
Chinchillas have continuously growing teeth. Malocclusion (misalignment) causes teeth to overgrow, creating spurs that cut into the cheeks or tongue. Signs include drooling, weight loss, and wet chin ("slobbers").
Diarrhea or Soft Stool
Normal chinchilla droppings are dry, dark, and firm. Soft or wet stool indicates a serious digestive problem. Chinchillas have sensitive digestive systems, and diarrhea can cause fatal dehydration rapidly.
📋 Otros Síntomas a Monitorear
Fur Chewing (Barbering)
Fur chewing is when a chinchilla chews their own fur (or a cage mate's fur) short, creating a "moth-eaten" appearance. It can be behavioral (stress, boredom) or indicate an underlying health issue.
Eye Discharge or Watering
Eye discharge in chinchillas is often linked to dental problems. Overgrown tooth roots can press on the tear duct, causing watery eyes. It can also be caused by hay poke, dust irritation, or infection.
