Polydactyl help

[Bean]

One of my big bubs has an extra toe, all was doing well and wasnt worried about it at all untill today, it's darker than normal. Is it alright to let it fall off on its own? It's only attached by a small amount of skin and he's not bothered by it at all, no biting or noticing it in any way.

Ive had a polydactyl pig before but the toe was on more securly and it was of no bother to her at all.

Anyone had experience of either removing toes or them dropping off naturally?

Have you got a picture? If only attached by skin and causing no probs i cant see the problem with them dropping off.

I would recommend seeing a vet, even if it is a quick job for him - but he will know what to do.

Typically it dropped off before we could get a vet appointment.
He's doing fine, apart from a little upset that he has to leave mummy and live with daddy now :o
