Emailed by Hans Vledder, who says : Bovenstaande dierenarts is opvallend kundig in het narcotiseren van
Chinchilla's van elke leeftijd. Geen van de dieren die wij bij hem onder behandeling hadden of hebben, hebben als gevolg van het narcotiseren het leven gelaten. Het jongste dier dat door hem destijds is genarcotiseerd was slechts een paar dagen oud en kwam op weg naar huis weer bij z'n  positieven.

Recently, he had a very serious respiratory infection which required emergency attention.

Gina says : We have a really good vet that is located in St.Paul,MN. His name is Patrick J. Jennrich, DVM. He seems to be knowledgeable, and he was really good and gentle with Sweetie when we took him in for a checkup. Sweetie seemed to like him, and even let him hold him, which is a true test of character. He took time to answer all our questions, and even had some really good questions for us as well, like what type of diet was he on, how was he being housed, etc. He genuinely has the animals best interest in mind. He also showed us how to check him for hairrings, and new alot about that as well, which is important if you have a male chinnie. I highly recommend him to any pet owner, and he came highly recommended to us as well by another chin owner.

Email by Joseph Bonacquisti who says : I was just browsing the chin net this evening and noticed that you do not have any vets who work on chins listed for North Carolins. Well, I'm a veterinarian in Charlotte N.C. who owns a pair of chins and enjoys working on small pets like chins. I have a 2 year old black velvet female named Day and a beige male named Knight. They are quite a pair. Before I got them, I had a standard Grey named Frosty. If any of your readers need help in the Charlotte N.C. area, they can contact me.

phone: 503-292-9227

fax  : 503-292-8487

Emailed by David Heckman, who wrote : he is the clinic's exotics specialist, and usually does reptiles, rodents and other exotics. He was very honest is saying that he did not consider himself a chinchilla expert, but has had some experience seeing them over the last several years. His experience in rodents is probably a big plus, and he also seems very willing and interested in learning more about chinchillas and how to treat them. I found him to be pretty knowledgable considering his limited exposure, and we spent a considerable amount of time talking about chins. He will also probably be getting more experience in the near future because a chin of pet stores in the area has started carrying chins. Overall, he's a pretty good place to start unless people find a person with more expertise in the area.

Sent by ChinCrazy@aol.com,who says : wanted to tell you about the vet I work for. She owns her own small clinic. She does in house, x-rays, surgeries (with iso. for small animals) and blood work. She has several references on chinchillas medicine and care. My chinchillas were the first she had worked on, she was very gentle with them and had no trouble handling them or caring for them. She specializes in small animals and she is the only vet I would trust with my two babies.
