        Hello bunny lovers!  My Dutch Feefee has a wonky-looking dew claw.  My husband and I were trimming nails yesterday (a very trying experience in and of itself), and we noticed her left dew claw was growing out at a weird angle, almost bent (away from her leg).  Also, her normally pink-colored quick was dark almost black on the inside and the normally light yellow-colored nail was brownish-gray.  I’m assuming she snagged it on something.  It doesn’t appear to hurt or infected (I’ve rubbed it and she doesn’t flinch), and she isn’t favoring her other leg or holding it off the floor.  Does anyone have any experience with a busted dew claw?  Should I trim it and see what happens?  I can’t believe how stressed I am by a wonky claw!

        I’ve attached a not-so-good picture

        Thanks for any and all comments!!

          My Bam had a crooked nail when I found him. It curled upwards. The vet said he probably had had an injury sometime. He wasn’t sore or anything. I cut it like all his other nails. He’s had it for years now, he’s been with me for 3,5 ys.
