Did your vet recommend any probiotics to help with her stomach?

I'm so sorry for your loss. Amazing age for a chin anymore. Glad you were able to have so much time with him.

Oh wow. 17! That's an amazing age for a chin nowadays. I'm sorry for your loss, but glad you had him for such a long time!

Lumps on the jaw will not show up if the teeth on top are growing into her eye sockets. I didn't read everything you posted (sorry, at school!) but is it wet around her eyes at all? If it is, there is nothing that can clarify what is going on other than x-rays. Also, I have many chins that...

Chins don't necessarily have allergies, but they can be sensitive to their dust. Is he eating and doing all things chin normally? At 22 I would be worried about his teeth if he had a combination of symptoms like eyes, wet chin or mouth, not eating well, etc.

To be honest, many large breeders don't feed loose hay at all. If all you're seeing is waste with the loose hay, then use the cubes. If it was me, I would offer the loose hay every once in a while and the hay cubes more often.

Welcome Dee! I don't think the humidity is going to be a huge issue as long as you can keep it cool where they are. Lots of people have their chins in the lower states here, where humidity is awful, and they do fine.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know all too well what it's like to lose these little guys and it is heartwrenching. 💔

First, if they are just x-raying his foot, they should be able to adequately restrain him without resorting to anesthesia. Tell them to put in a burrito wrap with his foot outside of the bottom. He may struggle a little bit, but they generally settle down pretty quickly. Second, have you...

Dislikes: Most people, being touched Chico and I are kindred spirits. :)

Yep, Empress and MCBA are still out there. :)

Usually stuff from Oxbow is safe, but it's a little concerning to me that I can't see what type of wood it is. Am I missing it somewhere?

Welcome! Your chin is a cutie!

Very cute!

Welcome to you and your herd!

Chins will sometimes lose kits if it's their first pregnancy or the kit may not have been healthy or developed enough to survive outside of mom. You'll know pretty quickly if there are issues with a retained kit. She would have discharge, possibly a bad smell, she wouldn't be acting normally...

A proper quarantine should have them be in completely separate rooms. If they are in the same room, even a sneeze can spread to the other cage. Whether they physically interact or not doesn't always matter. Many things are airborne.

I always trim whiskers when I put chins together, but I trim both chins, not just one. It doesn't hurt them and I have noticed no difference in balance or confidence in any of the chins I've trimmed (I've trimmed 100s). The only thing I've noticed is less aggression, however, I'm not sure it...

Thank you. She passed away about two weeks after surgery.

That's a strange-looking hat you've got there. :)
