i've got a chinchilla kitten,?

Question

i brought her from a breeder. i took her home to later discover she has a bent tip on the top her tail. what cause it and should i be worried. thanks

Answer 1

Hi Jenny...her tail may have been bent during birthing process or while in utero. It doesn't affect your kitty's overall health, however if this is of concern to you please consider contacting the breeder.

Answer 2

It might be a good idea to have it checked out by a vet but it is likely nothing to worry about. One of my mother's kittens was born with a bend right in the middle of the tail and the vet said it was caused by the tail having been broken before the kittens were born. My mother had the tail docked.
