Hey Everyone I have a question about our young princess, She recovered almost instantly from her previous illness. Now we fear for her health once again.

It looks like her back legs got a little swollen on top where they enter her shell almost looks like she got fat and her stomach is puffed up, the other turtle doesn’t appear to have that so we would like to ask all of you. By the way other then this issue, shes very much active, swims all day, basks on the deck and hunts and eats little fishies

Please let me know any useful information you might have about this. Thank you in advance. :D

Is the swollen leg hard? I read somewhere that a hard swollen leg could mean a broken bone. You should check with a vet to be sure.

What was her previous illness? Is the area sensitive to touch? Can you provide us with a picture?
