Prayers for the OBT

This girl seems to be dehydrated. Found her in a death curl today and went to take her out and preserve her but the legs slowly and slightly moved leading me to believe she was still alive. I flipped her over and began hydrating her and the legs started to move a little faster and more constant.

Still not looking good, but I can hear sucking noises like she is in fact drinking. I'll know by morning if I can manage to save her
 
Will do, Ieft her perched over a water dish before leaving for work today. May be old age or something though, I got this girl as an adult. Will have an update come morning
 
@Whitelightning777 yes I've heard that too which is what leads me to believe this could be old age related. As of right now it appears she has passed. I'll make the call in the morning but nothing has changed since the last update... she's still sitting in a curl over her water dish. The abdomen is back to normal, but no sign of even the slightest movement since the morning after I found her like that. Stay tuned for a final update...
 
When he or she revives, it may well be in a very foul mood. Don't get a false sense of security because it wasn't active previously. You might get tagged if you do.
