Wobbly Degu?

[spiya]

Hi, I'm not sure if this should go in the behavior forum or in here

I have two female Degus which I have only had for about 3 weeks, they are about 6 months to a year old. One of the Degus has had a couple of dizzy spells. She leans to the side a bit then rolls over and falls, its hard to describe! This only lasts for a few seconds then she runs off again like normal. Otherwise she is eating and drinking ok and there has been no other strange behavior.

I was just wondering if anyone has seen this before, they are my first Degus and my local vet charges a bomb just for a quick look! Just wanted to have a quick look on here before I pay out

Never heard of that before. Hope someone comes along soon with some help.

Well said, Smux! That is great advice, and I hope you are able to take her to a vet soon.

Have you got any history on her? Can you find out from the previous owner if it's an ongoing thing?
