Tortoise falling backward

[Pumi_theturtle]

Pumi recently fell about 7 inches and landed on her back. I checked for any damage on her shell and it has no signed of damage. She is walking fine and eating but I'm afraid of any internal damages. I do not know how she fell but I heard a thud and saw her on her back.

What did she fall onto?

Did she fall onto a hard or soft surface? It makes a difference. Keep an eye on her. As long as she is normally active, eating and pooping I ssupect there is nothing wrong. They are pretty robust.

She fell onto a hard surface but it had like grass on top so it was a little softer but she's acting the same! But I was just afraid of internal injuries thanks!

Do you know how she fell so you can do something to make sure this doesn't happen again?

 

[Pumi_theturtle]

Yes thankfully I can!

I'm gonna make sure it never happens again!

Wow that has got to be scary. Reminds me of losing my kid at the shopping center.....just a complete initial freak out followed by endless wondering. I am so happy things seem fine. You are doin a great job.
