  What exactly does it look like? If it has a nail it needs trimming, if it’s looking bad for any reason have a vet check it. I had a guinea pig that snagged a dew claw and it needed to be amputated.

  Yes, I’m unclear on what you mean… Do you trim the dew claws when you do your normal bunny maintenance? Is it curved over because it’s too long or does it look infected, or…?

  ok Im sorry about that, I wasn’t very clear at all. It is curved but I had the vet trim her nails not too long ago and she said then to keep an eye on it, it looks like it is kinda flaky and really thick nail. I asked her what could cause it she said she didn’t know, it is such an ordeal to get her out of the house and take her to the vet b/c its a 30 min drive so there is a vet like 1 min from my house and i take her there to have her nails trimmed. does that help you anymore ? its hard for me to look at it, she will let me hold her sometimes and sometimes she doesn’t like it at all and trimming her nails is not easy.
  thanks for the help
