Black nail never grows

[Mo & Stubbins & Vani]

Hi!
Quick question-
Vani has a black nail on one of her paws, but it never really seems to grow. I have never had to cut it before as it has remained the same size since we adopted her (one year ago). Is this normal?
Thank you!

Sometimes if a nail has been damaged in the past and the nail bed has been affected it may not grow.

Take her/him to the vet. it could be what my old piggie had, I forget what is called, something where the paw is infected wich can cause undergrowth, but I am not a professional, seek medical attention from the vet is what I say

Her nailbed is definitely not infected, but I appreciate your help!
Thank you!
