Hi all,

We have noticed that Pixie now 5 months has a short toe on her left leg. It doesn't appear to cause her any issues or pain. Has anyone else experienced this? Here is a photo:

Thank you!

no experience of this if it doesn't affect her balance or anything I wouldn't worry too much about it Smile

I agree with the others, if it's not painful or causing issues with walking then I would leave it be Smile

the only thing you might have a problem with is the over growth of the claw. but if you just keep an eye on it and clip it if necessary I doubt it'll be a problem.

I can't imagine it will cause tooo much bother, but it might put a bit of strain on the ligaments and tendons in her leg, so just be aware of any slight limping. As gilly says, the claw might overgrow if its not hitting the ground, so just keep a watch on it Smile
