I have a 3 1/2 legged kitten who was born like this. The humane shelter and i came to conclusion that if it was an injury there would have been a sore or scab . She was to young to have a healed sore when dropped at shelter. I fostered her as soon as it was posted on the foster page. She is almost 3 mths old and she gets around very good but i have noticed some potential problems. The tip of her stump had formed a sack at the tip of it. It was very mushy and loose but not hot or red. Tge next day it was harder and fuller. The tip use to be a thin piece if skin over a pointy bone. But now had ball like a sac that moved and rolled around. Today it was still there but the pointy bone had been flattened and widened. The point was gone and replace with a blunt surface. Maybe it broke off. She doesnt appear to be in pain. I have floors here and here leg taps the floor very loud. She uses it as a leg. I have read that most partial limbs on animals need to be amputated at body because the partials get hot spots and sores and infections and they are hard to heal. I dont have answers. I will find an experienced vet to help. I will have to find resources to help. I am on fixed income
