Chin with diarhea...

[jaymzeecat]

One of my chins has soft stools. I woke up this morning and found their Flying Saucer Wheel to be smeared with feces. I am assuming it's Flopsy that has the problem as Zippity never uses the Flying Saucer and there is no sign of feces on the Sage Jasmine Wheel she uses. Flopsy is much harder to handle than Zippity, so I haven't turned her over yet

this happened to one of mine a few months ago.

go ahead and take the pellets and give them a ton of hay. I also gave mine well toasted toast. It took a day or so but he got better.

also is it possible to separate them? This way if the one is sick they can't pass it to the other. One sick chin is bad, two at the same time can get expensive quick.

Thanks for responding so quick! I will take the pellets and see what happens. These chins are the first chins I've had that don't seem to eat much hay so I'll keep an eye on them.

one of mine is the same way (the one who got sick)...but if they get hungry enough he'll grudgingly eat it. Thought expect some nasty chin glares.

I don't know about yours but my boys are very expressive in their facial expressions, and feel quite free to express displeasure.

My chins usually express displeasure by peeing in my face, haha.
