How do I get her to chew?

[ballettas]

My ten month old chin was in an accident recently.
She is on the road to recovery - but seems to have lost interest in chewing, and I'm worried about her teeth.

Any suggestions about how to get her to chew? None of her toys or blocks are doing it.

Thanks for the help!

Did the chin go to the vet? Were x-rays done of the teeth? What kind of accident? Chins chew if they can chew, so what is going on with your chin is abnormal.

she did go to the vet, and all the xrays came back clean, no injuries.

She manages to get herself squeezed behind a piece of her cage and it was a lot of pressure on her neck, which they think caused a slipped disc. They said that she may never get motion back - but each day she gets a little more.

She can chew. I stopped feeding her the critical care through the syringe a few days after she came home. She chews her hay and pellets just fine.

I just don't know why she won't take any of her toys.
