I'm just curios because I've never heard of it.
Thanks for the information  |
Dewclaws are usually removed because a lot of times, they dangle and can get caught and ripped off. They are non-functioning (sort of like our appendixes...phazed out of use over time lol). I don't always have my pets' dewclaws removed, but you should've seen Shelby's!
His were just hanging by the slightest piece of skin. I had them removed because they could've easily gotten caught on something and ripped off.
That's all I know of it.
