My Ushi has started showing symptoms of this condition. She's run on her wheel her whole life, so she's normally got a wheelie tail, but now she only drags it on the floor behind her. She seems to just barely have her back end off the ground, as well and is walking flat-footed... having a hard time scratching with her back feet... standing upright on her back feet, etc.
Does this require a vet visit? If so, I'll take her right away- for now I've left a message to just speak with the vet when she gets a chance tomorrow. I know that if these symptoms were immediate there could be another issue going on, but they seem very gradual and minor to me at this point in time.
Is there anything I need to be sure to do for her? Supplements or painkillers/steroids? She still seems to be getting around the cage just fine... the ramps aren't really steep, and I've found her in the hardest hammock to get into just now.
Thanks a bunch for any advice!
