Aaand another question. I am not having much luck at the moment.
So, chinchilla doe. Has a litter of two and a bit week olds. Had the sniffles, was treated with antibiotics. Has seven babies, two are fosterlings. All of the babies have the sniffles. Today I checked in on them, and there was blood spots all over the nest. I did a head count, seven in tact babies. Picked them all up, and no body squealed or appeared to be injured. Checked the Nanny, nothing suspicious. The chin doe also appears to have to injuries, but the fur around her vent was a bit... gungy. It could have been a bit of squidged poop, or dried blood, it was impossible to tell. She looked a little sore in that area too, but nothing was apparently seeping or anything. She still looks very plump from the babies, but my last two does also put on weight from all of the lactol and treats.
Any ideas? I think the babies are coming up to weaning, so if she dies they might pull through... but they're all sick anyway. They're all staying here till they die, one way or another. I was kind of hoping to let them all go nuts in a cage full of toys first though.
