Jango has a deformed toe/toenail

Postby TheNzJessie » Thu Feb 03, 2011 7:15 pm

today i noticed for the first time that one of jangos back toenails is going awkwardly, i called my vet and described ti to him and he said if jango spends a lot of time on the bottom of his cage (which lorikeets do) it can cause there nails to grow out to the side. i booked an appointment with him next week to confirm it and see what can be done

I hope the vet can offer a way to coax it back to normal orientation! Let us know how the appointment goes.
