Booger can't use his back legs.

Booger can't use his back legs, he gets around fine though. He especially likes running on his wheel. You can see that his "knees" are in fine shape.

He has developed an odd way of balancing himself, he hardly puts any weight on his rear end. I have seen him walking on his front paws with his body pointing into the air for short distances. Booger also seems happy about having someone hold his rear end up for him when he is walking around, think wheel-barrow race.

His front legs seem a bit over-developed.

Looking at this picture has me wondering about clipping or filing his back claws.

Happy New Year.
