Misty's paws don't look like piggies feet, they are grey and her nails are awful and grey to.
There not sore when she walks or anything, I'm just a bit worried as they don't look right.
Any one have any idea?
 
Any chance of a pigture? :)
I'm intrigued now rolleyes

Misty is over 3 years old but so are heather, trixie and pixie and their paws dont look like this xx
 
It's difficult to tell from photo's, Cookie our piggie doesn't have as pink paws comapred to Treacle's, her's are white and she has dry white skin which we put Gorgeous Guineas foot balm on.
Our vet said there was nothing to worry about no fungal or anything. If you are concerned a trip to the vets will rule out any skin issues I'm sure.
 
I was thinking about getting touch with chrissy at gg as misty has dry white patches x x
 
Not all piggies feet are pink. Erin has one greyish foot, Eliza has dry skin which sometimes affects her feet and as for Misty's nails, that can happen especially as they get older. Eleanor's nails on her front feet are like Misty's and they always look longer than they are as they grow in a funny direction. They are sometimes hard and yellowish too. My vet said it is either just something that happens or can be caused due to poor living conditions when they were growing up. I'm not saying that happened to Misty (I'm not sure of her background before she came to you) but Ellie was used for breeding and left dumped in a box afterwards which would make sense xx
 
Her feet don't feel cold.
Her previous living conditions were terrible but heather's feet aren't the same, I just have strange piggies x x
