YeahI'm hoping he was just playing too rough and grazed it as opposed to chewing it himself or having something more sinister going on. I will keep an eye on it. I'm in the process of locating a new vet for him because his previous one retired earlier in the year. I need to make an appointment to get his beak filed anywayas its growing out wonky again so if its still there when I get him booked in I'll get it checked out at the same time. Have received a few recommendations from vets in the local (and not so local) area so just need to contact them and find one i like the sound of. They will have very big shoes to fill because Alfie's pervious vet was very good!!
