Is there a problem with my chin?
Ok so I just got my chin this week and so far it's been great..It's stopped chewing the bars and pulling hard on them, but I've noticed some funny behaviour:
1. It wipes its nose periodically. *pushes paw over its nose* 2. It seems to be scratching its right eye area with its hind leg. Upon inspection however, there are no signs of any infected areas or any sores. Except that the hairs on the bottom of the right eye seem to be 'wet' and standing out like eye-lashes. Is that a problem? Really hope it isn't something to worry about. Is this a problem? It doesn't alway scratch its eye - occasionally only. |

Check with the seller. Wet looks round the eyes sounds like it might have an eye infection.
Periodic wiping of nose is common. Nothing to worry about.

Check and make sure the nose area is dry if you see yr chin wiping the nose if it stay dry then u can keep yr mind at ease.
As for wet eyes or eye infection, check for any irritation that caused and u could drip some eye drop for clean off the area.

How old is the chin? Wet eyes is sometimes an early sign of teeth problems. You might want to see if you can find out what the genetic history of the parents are.
