In all honesty,I may have jumped the gun...you are right to take her to a vet and if she eats well that's a good sign.A picture could have told more of the story and veileds DO have odd-looking joints anyway.Exposure to natural sun will be a help if your weather permits..I hope the vet has encouraging news for you.I would keep handling to a bare minimum..if at all.Best wishes for your little one...
