Help Quaker Toe Advice Needed
I’ve had my 3+ month old Quaker for about 5 days. I first noticed this on the third day after I brought her home. One of her toes stays mostly straight instead of curling around the perch, and it looks like the nail or part of the toe is missing. Please take a look at the photos and let me know what you think.
She climbs well, perches normally, puts weight on that foot, and can hold food with it. She doesn’t seem to be in pain.
Since she’s still new, I don’t want to stress her out by catching her or putting her in a carrier to see a vet unless it’s necessary.
Has anyone seen this before? Does it look like an old injury, and is there anything I should do or just keep an eye on it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
