Chinchilla Diseases and Ailments

This early work is an absorbing read for any chinchilla owner or historian of the breed, but also contains a wealth of information and anecdote that is still useful and practical today. Contents Include: Introduction; Observations Relative to disease in Chinchillas; Handling and Administering Drugs; How to Submit Specimens to a Diagnostic Laboratory for Examination; Respiratory Conditions Affecting Chinchillas; Nutrition and Its Relation to Disease; Facts to Consider When Feeding; Disease Conditions Affecting the Mouth, Teeth and Esophacus, Diseases Affecting the Gastro-Intestinal Tract; Bacterial Infections; Factors Affecting Reproduction; The Chinchilla Baby; Fur Conditions; Metabolic Disease Conditions; Eye Conditions; Ear Conditions; Liver Conditions; Kidney Conditions; Poisoning Conditions; and Parasitic Conditions. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
