I am sad to reply that she has gotten worse with her other leg slowly getting paralyzed. I had to put her down. Thank you everyone for your help

I don't know if she was vaccinated as the previous owner bought the fertilized egg online. It appears she has movement of the leg at the hip just not at the knee joint. I try to move her knee joint and it is stiff as can be. I'm afraid that if I push to much I'll break it. How can I find if...
