Dexter really chews and bites his front claws, sometimes it looks as if he is trying to pull them off
Is this normal kitten behaviour

I have a couple of girls who do it why I do not know but doesnt seem to bother them.

Can't say as I've noticed mine doing that. Perhaps it's the sensation of their claws growing, like us with our nails

Thanks both I thought perhaps the same as you Wendy, he doesn't seem to be doing himself any harm so I won't worry now

I wonder if its a tonkinese thing, 2 of my tonks do that none of the others Dexter is half tonkinese isnt he Em

Yes he is Veejay - that's interesting, perhaps it has something to do with it
I'm actually a bit worried about him today, not connected with the claw biting. He is really subdued, not like him at all, and has slept virtually all day with no playing. I hope he is better tomorrow

hi em. not sure on the claw chewing but with dexter sleeping all day is possible the GA he had. im sure he will be better tomorrow. sometimes it takes afew days to get out their system.

Thanks angelgirl Well I was worrying about nothing as usual Dex is a complete loon this evening, glad to see he has his energy back albeit at bedtime I think you are right, the GA had a delayed effect bless him

thats great dexter is back to his loony self. he was just biding his time.

It takes approximately 3 days to clear the system as with humans.who usually find they feel ok once they initially come round after an op but feel a bit rough a couple of days later. Penny
