When Pedro, an adult male box turtle, was adopted by his owners, he was missing one of his back legs, the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine announced in a press release. But after recently escaping from his outdoor enclosure, it was discovered he was missing the other rear leg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, several months ago, he escaped. His owners hadn\u2019t seen him for several months. Then when he finally returned, he was missing the last back leg now,\u201d said Kelly Rockwell, DVM, a zoological medicine intern in the LSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Pedro\u2019s owner, Sandra Traylor, brought him to LSU.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was impressed by the interest they showed in a box turtle. Sometimes people have this idea that pets are just cats and dogs. It\u2019s very strange to walk in with a turtle and sit next to a dog, but they were very good about it and they were very nice,\u201d Traylor said.<\/p>\n<p>The veterinarians found nothing medically wrong with Pedro.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe wound had already healed quite well and he managed to get back on his own with his front legs somehow. Without his back legs, he\u2019s a little less mobile. As a box turtle, he can still \u2018box up\u2019 and protect himself that way, but due to his weakened mobility, the owners decided to make him a permanent indoor turtle,&#8221; Rockwell said. &#8220;Since they opted to keep him inside, I was talking to Dr. Mark Mitchell, the clinician working that week, and we thought in order to make him more mobile, we could add a prosthetic of some sort. We talked about 3-D printing something, or we could try to make him wheels.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4171\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/Pedro-Adjusting.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4171\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4171\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/Pedro-Adjusting-300x157.jpg\" alt=\"Pedro and his Lego wheels\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/Pedro-Adjusting-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/Pedro-Adjusting.jpg 415w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4171\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pedro&#8217;s owners say he is adjusting to his wheels. Photo Credit&#8221; LSU<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Using a Lego car kit, Rockwell and LSU veterinary student Sarah Mercer came up with the best way to attach the wheels to Pedro.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had the whole zoo med service and all of the students helping. We had to make the axles long enough to fit his body. We also made it so they could come off to clean Pedro. We had to try a couple of things to fit him. We used epoxy to attach Pedro. The same epoxy that\u2019s used on horseshoes,&#8221; Rockwell said.<\/p>\n<p>A fourth-year veterinarian student from Mt. Pleasant, S.C., Mercer said she\u2019ll never forget the experience of using Legos to help an animal in need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVet school can be hard at times, but sitting on the floor with my classmates and mentors all laughing in delight as we watched Pedro roll around for the first time, that was a moment of pure joy,\u201d Mercer said.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to epoxy, other equipment was needed as well to give Pedro his prosthetics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSyringe cases were used to hold the axles together and then we cut some pieces down to size to fit him,\u201d Rockwell said. \u201cI love zoo med. It gives me an opportunity to be very creative with my job. We get a chance to be really creative as doctors to help these animals live a great quality of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pedro\u2019s owners are thrilled with the results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s taken to the wheels with absolutely no problem. He adjusted right away to them. He backs up, he turns, goes back and forth,\u201d Traylor said. \u201cHe, overall, is a pretty happy camper after all he went through. It\u2019s like a science class but better because you\u2019re living it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Learn More<\/h3>\n<p>Interested in exotic pet medicine?
