Here's my foster chinnie. His name is Chili Bob. He's a handsome & very friendly guy. I'm fostering him b/c he has a yeast infection in his penis.
It's clearing up really well though.. he should be better in no time!

Poor Chili Bob. He sure is handsome! You are so good to give these guys care and an emergency home!

I couldn't find a hut that he could fit comfortably in.. so I zip tied one end of the hut to the side of the cage.. it works well..

What a cute little guy! I hope his pee pee feels better.

I hadn't either.. That's what the Vet said it was though..

Poor little guy. I just want to give him some scratches behind his ear.

I just spoke to the Vet Tech this morning (her Ex is the Vet who diagnosed the yeast infection).. I told her that I'd never heard of a yeast infection in a male.. she said that we all (humans & animals) have the potential to get yeast infections, it's just more common in females.
Chili Bob had been abandoned by his owner and the roommate who was caring for him for the last few months, didn't know how to properly care for him & left the dust house in his cage 24/7.. So he basically slept, urinated, and spent all his time inside there.. That was the cause of him developing this, I'm told.
