When this one hatched four weeks ago, something didn't look quite right about the tip of her nose. As she has aged, however, a gap has been forming which seems to encompass what should be her nostril. The tissue shows no apparent signs of infection, and it does not appear to be affecting her ability to eat. My fear is that the gap will continue to expand until it does start affecting her abilities and health. I'm wondering if it's similar to the cleft lip seen in some humans. Anyhow, I just thought I'd share some pictures and pick some brains as to what may have caused it and what the prognosis may be.
