It's nothing to worry about. Sometime chins are lazy and sit in the same spot that they peed in, getting it on their fur and staining it.

I had one chin who always did that. I always got a wet washcloth and cleaned it, then thoroughly blew it dry and did this once a week. It did not stop her from doing it, but eventually I weaned her and got her into a wire-bottomed cage so it does not happen anymore. Is that a possibility in your case?

With all of the ones of mine that have pee stained bottoms, they pee anywhere and everywhere so a wire bottom cage may not be a fix, but it might if she's only peeing in the bottom of her cage. Mine get it from peeing on their shelves and just sitting there afterwards.

Yep just a pee spot. I have a tov beige that always has one. She is in a wire bottom cage she is just a fat lazy girl so she doesn't bother moving off the shelf when she pees
