Hi guys,
Something Aurora has had since I've got her is a strange, large oddly coloured nail.
I've got a photo here:
As you can see its clearly different from her other nails, it's a back foot so I know they are large and thick anyway,
The issue I'm having with this nail is it all looks and seems like dead toenail tissue but If I cut too far down it hurts her
I have no idea if it's a problem or if there's some way to treat it?
How do you suggest I clip this particular nail? Usually I look for the vein as she's got white nails and judge distance from there but I can't in this case?
