Moes Toenail - CLICK HERE for the Pet Manual Forum Home Page
Kim Mason
We were cutting nails, brushing and weighing all the buns yesterday when we
noticed something weird. Moes one back foot has a toenail that is now turned
and seems to be curving upwards instead of down. Has anyone ever experienced
this before or know what may have caused it? Is it possible he broke his toe
and it healed wrong? It was not like that the last time we cut nails about 8
weeks ago. It doesn't seem to bother him at all but we found it alittle odd.

Rosie has one paw with the nails that grow every which way. It *is* weird.
The whole paw doesn't look right...never has. I think perhaps she broke all
or part of it before we got her as she has one nail altogether missing on
that foot.

I notice with age, my kids nails tend to curve - kinda like arthritis. I KNOW
it's not from lack of trimming nails here - if it were up to me - I'd paint
them too! ehee heeee.

I noticed Milton has all kinda of curled toes too - front and back. THat's
why i thought he was old when i 1st met him. The vet thinks different. But i
still think he's a senior bun due to the way he acts He has senior moments!!

I wouldn't worry about the curved nails unless the are so curved they are going
to grow into the foot somewhere - i have seen that in dogs - and YUCK!!
