I think she’s feeling a bit better today. I caught her cleaning and grooming...even with her problem rear legs. This morning she was all stretched out. Lol. Fingers crossed, big girl.
It’s been over 2 weeks. My other ones always wait to eat but since the beginning she always had an appetite 2 weeks after at most. It’s kinda why I kno she’s not right, lol. Today I took her out, put her in a container, brushed the corn starch off her, cleaned her enclosure and laid some...
Yea, but I’ve had her since she was very small with never a single problem ever.... no molting issues, no nothing. It’s weird this suddenly happened.
I’ll try n feed her by sliding cricket gumbo under her tmoro
Her 2 right side problem book lungs are blocked up. The one where the hemolymph poured out now has “scabbed” over and is pretty much sealed over. The other one looks sealed over as well. Idk what to do about that, if I should risk trying to clear them up. Maybe leave the one that hemmoraged...
I do. I made her some cricket soup in a thin saucer, and slid it under her and she tried to crawl(struggling) away with no interest in the food at all. Usually any movement around her and she would sound like a demonic baby rattle attacking, but now nothing. It’s sad to watch. She ain’t right
Thx all. I had her forever and watched her grow into a living monster. IDK how, but I hope she makes it. In a day or 2 I’m gonna make her cricket soup n see if she will eat, bc she aint moving and it’s been almost 2 weeks since her molt. Losing all that hemolymph.... have to get her some fluids
She is laying in the same spot I left her in.... the flow stopped but I don’t think it’s good. I mean how is a bleed from the book lungs gonna fix itself?
Last week my female burgundy Goliath, RAMBO, molted out of the blue.....she’s big, at least 10”+ she hasn’t moved much. Cleaning her enclosure I noticed an issue with her right side both book lungs. The rearmost one has a white chalky substance on the edges, like coming out of it...very little...
