I have noticed one of my girls is walking funny. I thought i was imagining it but today my dh and mum saw it too.

She will walk with her back legs splayed out, Kinda like a frog. She doesn't seem to be in any pain and as i said i have only noticed her do it once before about a month or so ago.

I am going to take her to the vets and get her looked at but does anyone have any idea of what this could be?
 
Has she been dropped at all? I would definitely take her to the vets for a check up, at the very least it could be painful for her to walk :( It could be an injury, or a lack of vitamin C or calcium. Does she get daily fresh vegetables? A vet check is the best way to ensure she is healthy :)
 
Took her to the vets and they can't find anything wrong. Typically she wasn't doing it when she was there rolleyes. But her legs are all moving properly, She showed no signs of pain when they where manipulated and my vet couldn't hear any noises in the joints.

She has fresh veg twice a day shared with her sister. She is a rescue so don't really know a lot about her former life before she came to me. I only got snippets from the rescue, They were housed in a cage indoors and given up because the kids got bored.
 
Well you did the right thing by getting it checked out. It is great nothing is wrong.
