Hi, at the age of 2 months it is normal, and doesn't show any abnormality, and if any may be corrected as the time lapses.
If there is scanty urination, or swelling of the face it is to be considered some fault with the kidney may be present, in abscence of these symptoms it need not be worried of. Thank you.
