 Worried!! Plz help

Moe has been quite healthy for the past year, had xrays and her old MBD she had traces of when i got her are gone, strong bones. Well she’s been favoring her left leg which looks to be shorter than her right and tonight I keep finding her hanging around by just her front legs and not grasping with her back legs as usual. I’m afraid her hind legs are beginning to kind of be paralyzed. What could be wrong? She’s on my lap now and can’t jump to the couch so its like she won’t use the back legs at all

I can’t see a UV tube having an effect like that.

It sounds as though she’s had a fall and damaged herself, or perhaps impaction, or worse.
Your WD needs to see a Vet asap my friend.

Ouch.

From a fall I’m guessing. Was the vet able to put it back in?

No. She will most likely just be disabled. I’m just worried about when it comes Time to lay eggs. I hope she can still lay. It’s in a spot where it may cause issues.

I assume she’s not housed with a male?

Some females don’t lay eggs. My Nixie didn’t thankfully, she had a similar problem to your WD.

When I rehomed Nixie, she went to live with another disabled female WD called lily, and as far as I’m aware, Lily has never been gravid either.

Don’t worry.
