Chinchilla in a splint

Hey y'all

My chinchilla Chip broke her front leg on Monday. Took her to the vet and got her splinted since it was a clean break.

Got her home Wednesday night along with meds and critical care assist feed.

Wednesday night she took the CC incredibly well, she's had it before and knows the drill.she didn't even need to be held.



Today, Thursday, tho she doesn't want a thing to do with it. I can get some down but not a whole lot. She's taking her meds almost with no issue, but is now turning her nose up at the CC which she seemed to love just last night. I know meds can change her appetite.



My concern is I know how to burrito her and I've done it before I'm just scared of messing up her splint or putting her in more pain.



I know she needs to eat so my question is do I need to bundle her and know the splint will be ok or is there a way to make it more enjoyable for her?



I saw on other threads some suggestions on things to add to the mix but I wanted concrete advice on what would be safe to help make the CC more likable.

I saw suggestions like canned pumpkin or unsweetened which I'm guessing is the same as sugar free Apple juice.



Any advice would be great. I want her to eat and be comfortable.



Thanks chinny lovers!!
