I recently noticed something is wrong with my 8 year old tortoise’s back legs. When she walks she wobbles as her back legs take slow steps. She rocks side to side and her shell hits the ground. Her back legs seem weak and drags for a moment before she takes a step.
I can’t think of what happened, she was fine just before. I did notice a couple bees walking the yard and we have some stinging nettle that grows but I don’t think that’s it. I tried soaking her incase she has been constipated. she has been eating normal. I saw some improvement for a minute there but she is back to walking the same. I am going to look for a vet but wondering if anyone has any ideas and any ways I can help. I attached some photos to try and show her steps. Wish I could post the video. Ty!
