Something wrong with her left leg?

[Luis Taveras0]

Is something wrong with her left leg she doesn't seem to letting it go out alot...

Could you take a close up? It's a little hard to see.

 

[Oogway the russian tort]

Idk but it looks fine but I can t be sure can u take pic up close

Maybe it's a strained muscle?? Maybe there's a little piece of substrate poking up inside??? Maybe there's a ripped toe nail??? Sorry, but we have no way of knowing.

It looks a little puffy but it's hard to tell in the pic. Does it seem swollen?

 

[MPRC]

How is her mobility? Is she still eating well?

I joined the forum when Tidgy had a slightly swollen limb and was limping and drawing it in.
She fully recovered over a couple of weeks, so I guess it was just a strained or sprained muscle.
Hopefully this is the same, but if it gets worse or doesn't get better in a while, a specialist herp vet visit might be good.

This is what it looks like on her right leg

And this is her left

Do you have a better picture of the top of the shell. Looks like something isn't right. Could be early stages of MBD and causing leg issues. Need a better picture

Nope just the picture, that dude looks great. Just has some extra scutes.

 

[Luis Taveras0]

Dunno if this is muscle sprain because she walks with a noticeable limp

 

[cmacusa3]

Could be just a defect, have you soaked her. A piece of the substrate could be wedged in and causing her problems

I soak her every 2 days and I never seen a piece of substrate come off

Use a flashlight and if she will let you try to look around her leg really good. A piece could've stuck her and won't come out in the soak. since she has split/extra scutes it could be just a defect and it's getting more noticeable as she gets older. She looks great and her colors are really coming out on her head.

 

[Luis Taveras0]

it's been like 2 weeks and it's still been looking the same

I've also noticed that when she walks she walks with a slight limp on her right leg but her left leg is fine

 

[Yvonne G]

I'm afraid it looks like it's broken, Luis.
