Hello fellow sulcata owners/lovers,
So my 8 year old Sulcata,Pearl, for some reason has been walking really wierd for the last month or so and i cant figure out what is wrong with her. One minute she will be walking fine than the next minute she starts teetering and walking very quickly in circles like she may be in pain. At first i thought it may be something on the bottom of her foot but i checked that and theres nothing but a couple spots where she might of barely scuffed a scute or 2 off. So i ruled that out. In checking that i seen that her back right leg was a little puffy or swollen. When i put her down she walks perfectly normal for about 30 secs and than boom back doing circles again so i pick her up cuz i cant help but feel like shes in pain. When i pick her up i can tell she relaxes. But when when i put her down again the same thing goes on until she gets to wherever shes going. Im thinkin she may have dislocated it, or even worse broke it somehow. So what should i do, any ideas?
