That's bizarre. I wonder if it'll be able to live just fine?

EDIT: I guess your post answers that. :)

unlike humans animals do not dwell on their disability. I hope and think she will do fine.

This happens from time to time, I've seen it in other species as well. Genetic defect, they usually do all right in a captive environment.

This a not a well thought out statement, there are thousands of disabled humans who do not "dwell on their disability"!!! :shocked::mad::shocked::mad:
