    Hi,

    If it is there all the time I would say it isn't normal.

    It could possibly be an area of damage where the ribs/ spine have been broken/ distorted.

    I'm not sure there is a lot a vet could do but diagnose it correctly though.

    Anyway we can get a picture in better light? Looks like there is more damage than just the dented scales there.
