it's very small -- between 1/16 and 1/8 of an inch, i'd say. he's not very big, though; if his beak isn't overgrown, can it be trimmed that much? he won't have enough beak left, i'm afraid! i can't help worrying about my scaly "child."

wish i could've gotten a sooner vet appointment... how quickly can these things get worse? should i try to get bumped forward if it's too urgent to wait 'til monday?

any ideas on how/why this happens and how it can be prevented?

thank you SO much, ej!
