I don't know much about Skye's past....she was brought into work as her owner didn't want her anymore, and I jumped at the chance to give her a home.
Since I got her she has had this strange nail, which is much thicker than the others and very curvy. Is it normal, and will it be ok to cut like a normal nail? I'm so afraid of hurting her, and she's not too keen on me holding it to cut it. Is it just a case of the fact that her nails may not have been cut before? All of her other nails are fine and I cut them regularly.

Thanks :)
 
As long as you don't cut down too far, it should be fine. I've had a few piggies with those weird thick nails, and I've trimmed them without a problem :)
