Question:
Does anyone know of a vet that is familiar with chins. We have inherited an older chin. In the last few weeks he has developed a wet/matted fur on his belly. It has also now moved to his eyes. I have searched the web and other than the eyes which look good, just wet fur around them, I can't locate any reference to having a a sometimes wet and now mostly just matted fur on the belly. The previous owners who had him for 7-8 years never needed a vet and they also inherited him, so don't really no it's age.
Please help us..we are very attached already to this lovely little critter.

Answer:
Susan, it sounds like teeth problems. Where are you located?


Answer:
Yes it does to me too.
he may be drooling down over himself.
Had one here soak her whole front then cleaned all the fur off.
She loosened a tooth, and gets stuff caught in between causing gum disease.
She drools much worse than the other who gets spurs and points.
I would say he needs a trim and a good cleaning.
How is he eating?


Answer:
I agree it does sound like teeth problems. He defintely needs to see a vet.
