I think that Cobalt has one. He is 12 weeks old. We did not notice it until yesterday and it is very noticeable now. Can see it really well when he is standing up, not so much when he is sitting down. I will try to get a picture of it and post it on here.
Does anyone have experience with this? Does anything need to be done?
We have a vet appt on Monday, but just kind of curious.

I think Buddy had one when he was younger now that his chest has filled out some you can't see it any more.

Still best to get it checked out by the vet,but as everyone has said as he gets older it will be held more in place by muscle,but to be on the safe side get it checked in case it was damage from a little rough and tumble with litter mates.

I thought I had learned my new thing today in Algebra class(staying with the whole you learn something new everyday thing) but I think this has all my math mumbo jumbo beat. I have never heard of this before but I am surely glad that you posted the pic so I could see.

For those of you that have heard of this before: Does it correct itself or does it just get less noticeable?
