Noticed the other day that one of my piggies is missing a nail on her front leg!
My husband and I are both in school during the day, and we heard nothing out of ordinary in the evenings.
It looks as if the nail is completely gone...
There had been some bleeding apparently because there is a bit of dried blood on her toe. We didn't see any blood anywhere on any of the bedding. She has been acting normal, aside from a day or two when she seemed to 'mope' but we thought it was because she ate too much lol. We didn't see it because she is a long hair, and quite fluffy. We check nails once a week when we change out bedding and that is when we noticed it.
There is no redness, she isn't bothered by it, she popcorns when its time for food, and runs after the other piggy. Should I go ahead and take her to the vet, or should I take a wait and see approach to it and keep an eye on it, and just take her in if it gets bad?
