I have to wonder about some vets and why they treat rodents like they are disposable. The vets I use RX motility drugs almost everytime a chin is sick and will not eat on their own, they al least want the owner to have it on hand in case.
Chins who can eat will not shun food until they go into stasis, and I would not feed this chin anything but CC. Adding things to his diet to just get him to eat will change the balance of the bacteria in the digestive tract-right now its a breeding ground for bad bacteria since the system is not working and it can lead to enternitis also. When or if the digestive tract gets moving-the longer its stopped the less the chance it will recover-the problem with the not eating can be diagnosed. There is not much anyone here can do at this point without you using the drugs, the digestive tract historically will not restart on its own without the drugs.
