Review for Forever Feisty Chinchilla Rescue Inc, Granby, CT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Our chinchilla(Daisy)had stopped eating, drinking and no poop and we took her to our local vet for treatment.After 1 1/2weeks she showed no signs of improvement and I then decided to take Daisy to a different Vet and do an online search for solutions. Of the thousands of web pages available I just happen to check out Andreas' website.Thank goodness we did. Andrea contacted me by phone and gave instructions on what to do which proved so what difficult to do because it required giving her stuff by hand which we had no experience doing. Because of the difficulty giving Daisy stuff by hand we decided to take her to the second vet for treatment. After being hospitalized for 5 days, she was actually getting worse, because of some of the meds she was getting had been getting and been force fed for 5 days without any signs of pooping. On the fifth day the vet decided Daisy should be put to sleep because she was not going to survive. During this process I had been in contact with Andrea daily. We took Daisy home from the vet and then started to treat her with natural stuff that Andrea suggested Pineapple juice- to break up any organic stuff that might be causing any kind of blockage. Pedialyte - to keep her hydrated Mylacon - to treat her gas along with some of the meds the vet gave us to use. On the second day she still had no poop and Andrea then suggested that we try giving her pumpkin for her constipation. Within 3 hours of giving Daisy her second dosage of pumpkin she pooped for first time in 2 1/2 weeks. Under Andreas' guidance Daisy is making remarkable progress and is getting back to normal. As far as I'm concerned Andrea saved Daisy's life and she has great knowledge on treating chinchillas. Her communication with me(living in Florida) on treating Daisy is second to none and shows her dedication in taking of her chinchillas in her rescue and those that are privately owned. Been able to talk to someone by phone instead of waiting for a reply on a forum is really beneficial and I cannot thank her enough for what she has done. In the future I will donate to her rescue so Andrea can continue to provide the care she gives to chinchillas in her rescue. Andrea you are the best. Thanks, John
