Chinchillas and mice and all things nice

I was sure that my first consultation that faced me on the computer was a wind-up. I work with a great team of receptionists and we have many good laughs together so I was sure that ‘Chinchilla permanent erection’ booked in as my first client was not real.

I went out to see Debs and tell her off but then noticed a lady walking in with a giant ‘hamster wheel’ and a chinchilla inside. Realising that it was going to be one of those days; I rushed upstairs to the practice library to look up Chinchillas in one of the exotic manuals. We do not see them often and I have certainly not seen one before with this affliction!

It turned out to be what is called ‘fur ring’. The poor little chap (a beautiful soft chinchilla) had a ring of his soft fur around his very generous bits. A simple snip of the fur and a bit of lubrication did the trick - a very satisfying result to relieve his discomfort.
