Was it a softshell or what? I'm not really a turtle expert. More of a tortoise person.

Oh I have no clue. I’m not a turtle person either

Here’s Charlie today. The only commands he knows so far is “sit” and “go get it” (for when he’s playing fetch).

I had to take my poor Charlie to the vet yesterday. His legs had begun to knuckle in and it was very concerning. Turns out he has the start of rickets (basically he outgrew the calcium in his body), and the vet said I was very lucky to catch it early, so the damage should be correctable. He is now on calcium pills for 4-5 months. While we were there he had his 2nd shot and was dewormed again. I’m just glad that it should be correctable. It was sad seeing my poor Charlie tripping everytime he walked. He goes back in 3 weeks for another shot.

Oh thats sad.
I'm glad you found it early! I trust he's ok.
