Thank you for the reply Amethyst, after much thought I've decided it would be best for me not to get a cat. They never really can be trusted around chins and mine is just too precious to me.

Hello all, I used this forum back when I first got my chin 3.5 years ago and found it to be really insightful. I was wondering If any chin owners here own cats because I am thinking of getting a Ragdoll kitten and don't want my chin getting clawed at or too stressed out. The ideal situation...

The vet gave me some recovery food similar to the critical care and pain killers, I have to force feed him it and if he's not eating by the end of the week I've been told to find and see an exotic animal specialist... Poor guy won't even go near his food bowl he just sleeps all the time

He wasn't eating when he had the pain killers The first day but I'm going to ring the vet tommorow because it's nearly been a week and he's not eating his pellets AT ALL I just get him to drink his water a little and he might nibble on some hay and I gave him a tiny raisin which he ate, I'm...

No the vet didn't mention anything like that and yes they gave 3 injections, an antibiotic, painkiller and another for his digestion. Will his appetite come back? Or do I need to do something to help him? It's just been more than a day or two and he's hardly pooing or eating still

His teeth where too sharp and rubbing on his gums causing him too drool and an alsour too so they cut and smoothed his teeth and gave him some injections. He's behaving much better and his fur is fine again!... Just another problem that's worrying me hes hardly eating!! So his poo if he does...

I had a different vet that looked at him while he was under the anesthetic, droped him off this morning and just got a call hes woke up fine and can pick him up in two hours and ill hopefully be told what was wrong with him! oh and i was researching around because once my chins water bottles...

Hello everyone! Okay just got back from the vets, I bought a metal wire carrier cage from the guy who made my chinchilla cage good thing I did because my chin was terrified at the vets! I had to sit in the car with him because the dogs barking scarred him alot. I wasn't happy with the vet, she...

okay thank you everyone for the help! I will get him to a vet asap ill try for monday. About the carrier i remember seeing plactis ones, will that be okay for this one time? Here are some pictures, sorry if the size of them come up wrong

Yeah your right, ive never took him to the vets neither did the breeder I got him from Because there's not been a reason too but I'll find the closest Vets that deal with chins and get him checked out as soon as I can, would he be okay in a transport cage? I'll have to buy one first and would he...

Hmmm I top his food bowl up everyday, he's eating fine his poo is fine I've seen him eating perfectly too. He takes it alot of water from the bottle that then does down to his furr he doesn't do this alot but when he does it ruins his furr and I've looked at his teeth too they are not too long...

My chin for the first time (few weeks ago) had fur missing under his mouth around the chin area and lower. I believe it's from him getting water on it when drinking. I gave him a dust bath and I do clean his cage weekly and his water bottle is fine. But after a few weeks the furr started...

Okaay thanks, I'll keep a close eye on my chins eye lol :/ anyways his eyes only water abit after a dust bath.
