Missing toe !

So Mrs Winter Bottom is nine weeks old now and doing ok, she has finished her antibiotics today so will see how she gets on now.
But noticed today that she is missing a toe on her front paw :(, I wonder how that happen.....poor thing x
 
Glad she is feeling better. Sometimes Walter loses a nail being fast on the carpets? Perhaps she pulled it out playing?
Hope it's not too sore for her.
 
Do you mean a toe or a toe nail?

If it's the whole toe most likely either a genetic defect and she was born without it or the mother over groomed them as newborns - it's more common for them to have missing ears or tails but an individual toe would be possible. It often happens with inexperienced or stressed mothers. Shouldn't cause any harm though.
