Signs of a Pregnant Chinchilla
A pregnant chinchilla changes in temperament (irritable, aggressive, rejects others — house alone, away from males), diet (early appetite drop then big increase, near-starvation 1–2 days before birth; add calcium, vitamins, easily digested food), sleep (much more, deep), stamina (less — avoid hard exercise to prevent shock), and weight (clear gain after a month — weigh daily). Keep her calm, well-fed, and in a clean, quiet home.

How long after birth do kittens wean?

My two-month-old Golden Retriever vomited white foam first thing in the morning, had dry heaves last night, no stool, no eating, just lies down whining, temperature normal.
Foaming vomit in dogs has many causes: food poisoning, poor diet, gut disease, parvovirus, distemper. An unvaccinated dog with foam vomit, no eating, and low spirits should be tested for parvo, distemper, or coronavirus. Non-viral causes may be gastritis, pancreatitis, or parasites; treat the cause. Dehydration is risky, so seek IV care.
