Hey all I have a question.
For the past week now my leopard tortoise named snowball has been limping. he is getting better to where he is not limping all the time just after about 10 minutes of walking around he will start to trip and fall. It is his front left leg. As far as I can tell there is no trauma to his leg. I have him outside since it is the summer time.
There is no way that any outside animals can get to him because I have him in a big pen and when I take him out of the pen I am with him at all times. Snowball is 7 years old and I have not had any problems with him till just now. His front left leg fell in a small hole a week ago and after that that is when I noticed his left leg not being able to hold him up as good.
He is getting better but I was just wondering what are some possibilites as to what could it be. I am thinking about taking him to the Vet tomorrow on my day off.
ANy suggestions are greatly appreciated I want him to be good and healthy!!
Thank You
