My chinchillia, Bugsy Malone is 6&1/2 years old and never had any problems.  He is now breathing raspy and not eating well, turds have diminshed in size and quantity and I don't know what to do.  Anyone got any ideas?  We did move recently 6 weeks ago and this happened about 2 weeks later.  He was used to a quiet hallway and at the new house he stayed in the front room by the TV for a couple of weeks until I realized his breathing was getting bad and he seems moodier than usual.  Thought maybe drafts were making him sick so I moved him to a quiet room but it smells of cedar walls and is quite warm in there now.  Can any one make suggestions?  Is it a cold or pnuemonia? Where can I get antibiotics for my chin?  I love him and don't want to lose him.  He is the best pet I have ever had.  Please help!!!!!!!!!

Either the chinchilla is really old, or it's sick and should go to the vet.
