What is the average amount of water a chin should drink in a day? She is 4 months old and new to her home, i have had her for about a week and 3 days

Most chins drink between 2 and 4 oz of water per day. Pregnant and nursing females will drink much more...

She is fine, she is smaller so probably drinks less.

Sounds like an adequate amount. As long as she is eating and her poos look normal, I would not worry. In contrast, when my female delivered her twins Sunday she consumed 8 oz of water in 24 hours. Her pee corner looked like a flood zone! I was cleaning it out in my PJs Monday morning, but hey, whatever keeps the new mommy and kits happy and healthy!
