Thank you for using our service. Based on the symptoms you have described, it is possible that your Chinchilla may be experiencing an infection or injury to its left arm. It is important to have a veterinarian examine your Chinchilla as soon as possible to determine the cause of the swelling and redness and to provide appropriate treatment. In the meantime, you can try to keep your Chinchilla comfortable by providing a clean and quiet environment and making sure it has access to fresh water and food. If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to come back to us! Thank you.
