I have a 5 month old CRD (Natasha) that was just diagnosed with diabetes last night. She tested high for Ketones, as well as glucose in her urine. She is on a...
Last night I was having cuddle time with Natty, my newly diagnosed CRD. I put her on my chest to eat some cheerios and she was looking at me with her big wide...
Wow! What a story. I'm glad you had the inspiration to check the hall and found her. Escapes are a serious thing, so many dangers in the big, wide world, even...

I'm really pleased you find her. I totally sympathise with you as I recently had some 3 week old Campbell's escape and they discovered a hole in my wall behind...
... feeding her Cheerios? That's not good. Try to give her a diet that high in protein and only give her complex carbs (so a bran cereal is okay, but not...

Hi, We have a severely diabetic Campbell Argente who we took on as a rescue. She eats Bunny mix and a selection of green vegetables but not root veg as they...
It sounds like she is extremely constipated. But if she eats greens, I have no idea why she would be. I'm sorry, I really don't know how to help. More fiber? ...

Friends of our's Dwarfs did this- and they did the antibiotic in the water- hoping it wasn't wet tail- plus they blanded the died- gave them more oats- and it...
Hi My male Russian Dwarf Hamster, Bob, has just been diagnosed with diabetes bless him. I have been reading about pedialyte and fenugreek on this forum but...
