Star is very cute! How old is she? I'd say if she is over a year old, don't worry about the foot... it may cause some arthritis later in life, but it won't cause any major problems. It may have been broken at a young age and not fixed correctly (or at all) and that is the way it healed. If she is under a year old, you could talk to the vet there, have some xrays done, and see if there is anything you can do for it, but if I were you, I'd leave it alone unless it's causing her pain/trouble. Surgery can be very costly... anywhere from $700+++.
Arthritis is easily treated (w/ prescription meds or just aspirin) and you could start giving her glucosomine to help "lubricate" the joints. She can take the same stuff that people take (probably around 500/600 mg daily.) It's just like a vitamin.
I'm ready to see the pics of what Q does for a livin... :) He doesn't really work... don't try to lie... he plays in the water all day! It's okay, we all know!!! LOL! J/K.
Can't wait to see ya'll...
Loves!
