Leroy Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Is it not some breed of pigeon that stands with a different posture putting pressure on the centre pads, causing them to flatten more than the rest of the foot? Just a thought. I have a pair of nuns that have chubby little feet like that Lee I'm even more certain seeing the thickened hind toenail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IB Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 The pads are red & swollen, so the problem is inside, not out. Skin over the joints is also inflamed, looks to me like there's been cuts possibly caused by something like thread or twine that have allowed infection in.
