Going round circles

[sherman the tank]

hi
We're new to the club we've got an 80 year old hermans tortoise she's been with us for about 25 years.
Just recently she has little periods were she goes around in circles seams one leg is not working very well,
This is on grass but ok on the patio,she usually runs around the garden barging everything out of the way.
Was wondering if she could have bit of arthritis any thoughts would be appreciated thanks

That IS pretty old for a testudo species. What do her legs look like when she's going around in cicles? If it looks like all four are working, it MIGHT be neurological.

Hi
She has one leg that seems to give her a bit of trouble but it's only on grass and it's only occasionally other than that she is
Very active and seems very healthy just thought at her age she might have a touch of arthritis
Thanks Sherman the tank
