There is no excuse for not taking this animal to the vets. If you arent prepared to take full responsibility for owning an animal, may i suggest you rehome it to someone who is.
Sorry if thats harsh, but in my eyes, theres no excuse to let an animal suffer for a prolonged time, when the help is out there and readily available.

Couldn't agree more. Everyone on here does understand. We have all kept chins. I had 21 at one point and i wouldn't hesitate for 1 moment about taking them too the vets if needed.
You have to accept that with any animal purchuse, you need to provide a life long commitment....health/food/accomodation. I bought a cat carrier for my chins before i owned my first one, sorry but it's common sense.
You wouldn't hesitate to get yourself to a doctor if you were in pain, why not do the same for your chin.
A couple of my chins are not easy to handle, a lot of them never become hand tame but a vet knows what to do so thats not an excuse either.
I'm sorry for being harsh but i'm just being honest with you.
