A DVM clinical reference on gastrointestinal stasis (ileus/hypomotility) in the chinchilla: why it is a secondary sign rather than a diagnosis, the anorexia–dysbiosis–gas–pain cycle and its lethal endpoints (hepatic lipidosis and tympany), the dental-first driver workup, distinguishing functional stasis from obstruction and bloat, and formulary-sourced fluids, analgesia, feeding, prokinetic, and antibiotic guidance.
