A chinchilla in heat and humidity can't shed heat and may collapse. Mild cases droop with hot ears; moderate ones stand unsteadily and can't eat; severe ones stiffen, arch the head, twitch, foam, and coma. Move the animal to a cool, ventilated place, cool the head/ears, and give a diluted cooling herbal liquid plus glucose or rehydration salts — severe cases also need B1 and B12. Prevention (cooling early) beats rescue.

Chinchilla heatstroke comes from heat above 30°C, high humidity, heavy exercise, or dehydration. Mild cases droop and lose appetite; severe ones coma, arch the head, stiffen, and foam — and die fast. Keep the environment below 28°C with good ventilation and humidity control, avoid exercise and sun in heat, and always provide water. Indoors is safest.
