So I was at work today when my boyfriend noticed bumper walking around but not using her back legs. He sent me a video and I started getting really worried. She had her back legs kinda tucked in and was dragging herself around with her front legs. But then I started thinking, she lived on hard wood floors for the past 8 years and kinda swam around on that floor and now that I have her she walks on the carpet and the past two days I had her outside all day long and she walked the entire time. Can they get sore? I mean she has a problem with her back legs anyway (for backround on her see "im getting a leopard!" and in photos " new leo") so I know I should keep a close eye on her but anything else. Like a certain extra vitamin, or like "physical therepy", like they would do with people who are bed ridden, bending and stretching their legs. I know this must sound so stupid but I'm just wondering. And can tortoises have arthritis? I know there must not be much research on it but you know how they give old dogs an asprin everyday to help with their joint pain, I wonder if this would be possible for a tort. Dont worry i'm not gonna try but this incident got me thinking. So my boyfriend got worried and picked her up to see if she would move her legs. He said it took her about ten minutes to use them. She hasn't seemed stressed out and she is eating fine now. So.... what do you guys think?
