Darrin, When my Gizmo broke his toe (first one on the right rear foot), my vet told me not to worry about it if it wasn't causing him any pain and it wasn't catching on things or making it hard for him to walk and that it wasn't infected. I have no idea how it happened (I suspect he got it caught in the cage somehow), but it never seemed to bother him. So we just let it be. It just kind of stuck out to the side at a funny angle instead of straight ahead. ===== Aileen & the Herd minus one Herdling Slinky, Kyle, Noel, Sandy, & Rootie the beagle Missing Gizmo so much. We love you, baby. Check out the Herd's website at: http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/Zoo/7414/index.html [Posted in FML issue 3123]
