I have PoTS, EDS & NCS. I was wondering if anybody else's hands and feet get like this? It is more more red and purple IRL, this was before a pre syncope episode.

Whisker Help !!

A few days ago, I noticed his whisker looks strange. The rest of his whisker is completely normal, along with his other whiskers. There is a thick, almost rigid structure built into the whisker? Not sure what it is. He doesnt care if I touch it or his whisker pads. It isn't a peice of hay; thats what I thought originally and tried to gently sweep it off of his whisker, but its not loose at all. And yes, it is slightly discolored on the right side. This is the only whisker that is like this. My only guess is from grooming? He itches his nose with his paws, like all chins do, maybe the whisker got caught the wrong way? Does anybody know what this is? (I also posted this to the Chinchilla FB group but haven't gotten any answers.) Lmk if anybody else had seen this on their Chinchilla before?

EXTRA INFO: He is eating, pooping, drinking, jumping, chewing and playing normally. There is not fur loss or any redness whatsoever, and his teeth are completely healthy. It does NOT hurt him that I know of.
