So, I've had Gidget for about 4 months. She's had issues, most of which I believe have been resolved
But tonight as I was taking new photos (she's getting so dang BIG), I noticed her whiskers are odd. They don't stick straight out from her face and they are kind of curly.
She is front paw declawed for that same reason; long, fast growing curling toenails. They bit her toe pads if I didn't clip them every other day.
Now I'm worried about her back feet. I've been clipping once a week, but I noticed tonight she has 1 nail on each foot that is very long. It isn't biting into her toe pad, but it's cutting me.
How horrible would it be to declaw the back paws? Also wondering if I can just have the offenders removed?
I would really love to find a vet that was more familiar with these issues. If y'all have any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks a bunch,
Kary
