I have moved to my new place and the girls are loving it, since my bedroom pretty much came rat-proofed they are back to total free range.
Lilly has been having some myco flare ups, which have been manageable with some ensure and dark chocolate. Earlier she seemedto be moving fine, however ibhave just noticed her dragging her back egs. At first it just looked like she was stretching but she kept doing it. she can move them forward to walk but not consistently. i just saw her jump onto a ladder so i doubt its a back injury. shes approzimately 1 year and 8 months, so i guess it is about the time the baddies would start popping up.
i guess im asking, how can i take care of her? Theres no visible lumps and ive felt almost everhere and i have heard that most PTs are inoperable. I already have the cage set up so that the ladders are on a more horizontal incline and her food, water and lots of comfy sle
eping places are in one area. any foods i can give her thay might help? I cant separate her from the girls, everyone would be devastated - shes the mediator, the matriarch.

Also i am using my phone for internet for a while so i am sorry.for the typos
 
With PT its the front paws that lose the ability to grasp, the hind legs are just fine. It looks like you are dealing with the girly version of HED. Cover the ramps, hang hammocks anwhere she might fall off of (shelves etc) and she will adapt just fine.
 
I always get them mixed up -.-' but its good to hear she can adapt. hopefully she wont be too upset when she cant climb onto the bed herself :(
