Well its been almost two weeks sense my little one had his teeth filed down, he is eating but only half of every pellet he picks up. When I woke up this morning his chin was wet and I know that is a sign of when his teeth are getting bad.
Im just wondering if its the food he is on. For his first 6 years I had him on living world but the year that he has been on oxbow ive had nothing but teeth problems.
What other foods could I move him to?

He will eat a small mouth full of the CC and I caught him a few hours ago nibbling on a peice of food, so at least he is getting something into him.

I will make one tomorrow once I either get yogurt or the oats. Is rolled the same as old fashion oats?

If all else fails I will give the other two liquid formulas a try. Do you know of any other shake mix I could use to replacs the spiru-tein? By the look on the companies website they dont sell that mix in Canada. Also could I use Alfalfa hay? or is that the same as Alfalfa leaf?

Up until the first part of April my 7 year old chin was healthy as he could be. During the first week in April my mom noticed that Maya was drooling a bit, I wasnt the concerned about it because he was eating and acting fine, I finally noticed that all of a sudden he was no longer eating his pellets or hay thats when I called the vet, got him in and looked at and it turns out two of his teeth had curled and were digging into his cheek, she filled them down and sent us on are way home. He became himself again after that until last week where I noticed he wasnt eating much and was just lazy, got him into the vet on thrusday and turns out he had a spur on his tooth so she filled it down and sent us on are way. Sense thrusday I can get a few pellets into him and little bit of hay, I have been trying to feed him Critical Care but that isnt working out to well, now he is hardly pooping and when he does it very tiny. I have weight him and he clocks in at 444g and from what I have read the norm for a chin is around 500g.
He eating Oxbow Pellets, Oxbow Timothy hay, and mix of Oxbow Orchard Grass and Oat hay. He does get a raisin every now and then as a treat.
Im just at a lose now, I dont know what to do and its stressing me out, should I go back to the vet and see if they can help me out? Or am I just stressing myself out for no reason.

Hello everyone my name is Amanda and I work with Cut Flowers at a Greenhouse.
I am 22 and still live with my parents so i dont have to pay rent and instead i get to spoil my little one. Right now under my roof I live with 4 Turtles Crush Squirt Myrtle and Vader, a Rabbit named Luma, a Cat named Liberty who goes by libby, a Dog named BeeBee and last but not least my Standard Grey Chin Maya who is 6 and will be turning 7 August 1st. Im here to look for advice and see how to raise my chin better.
A little about Maya.
Well 6 years ago my sister got her first bunny and that made me a little jealous, so i convinced my parents to let me get a pet. I starts looking at ferrets hedgehogs dagus then came across a chinchilla at a pet store one day. I know buying from a pet store is not the best idea but I didn't know were you could get them to besides pet stores.So one cold day in February we all agreed today was the day so we all hopped into the truck and drove to the store after getting the cage food dust etc.. i finally got to get my little chin. They had a set of brothers.. so they said... I was then introduced to buddy (r.i.p little one) and i knew he was the one.To make the story short buddy came across an accident and never survived. The next day little maya came into my life and i could never be any happier. He is a little spoiled but what can i say he is my baby.
Once I can get some photos of him I will post them.
