A seizure is another “vet” visit but here are some ideas to try in the mean time. First, make sure your chinchilla is in the safest location (can not fall off a ledge or 2) and call your vet. Wrap your chinchilla in a piece of fleece and keep in a quiet place. This is a prime example of why having and using a hospital or isolation cage comes in very handy. Additionally, if overheating (red ears is a classic symptom of overheating), hold your chin in close of an opened refrigerator door. Use previously cooled porcelain or ceramic tiles wrapped in fleece to catch condensation as it warms up for a cool bed to lay on. Be sure water is available to them. Since chins can’t sweat, a fan in this case would be useless.
